    <p>I have a webcontrol with a handful of links displayed at the top, eg:</p> <pre><code>Link 1 | Link 2 | Link 3 </code></pre> <p>Currently they're each an asp:Hyperlink. <code>Is there a clever solution for rendering out the dividing pipe characters?</code></p> <p>Currently they're within the containing placeholder. We can't make any guarantees about a given link always appearing. I don't want a really big if-statement, and I'm reluctant to render all the links purely in the code-behind...</p> <p><strong>[Update]</strong></p> <p>Thanks for pointing out that CSS is the way to go. It's certainly made things easier. We did, of course, need a cross-browser solution though.</p> <p>The HTML list (<em>&lt;ul&gt;</em> &amp; <em>&lt;li&gt;</em>) structure works a treat, as the <strong>first-child</strong> / <strong>last-child</strong> properties take care of the end of the list. <em>Note</em>: These are automatic - you don't have to assign them in the markup.</p> <p>As we only needed pipe symbols, I used the border property. If you wanted, you could use the <strong>margin-left</strong> + <strong>background</strong> image CSS properties to have an image spacer instead.</p> <p>Our solution:</p> <p><em>HTML:</em></p> <pre><code>&lt;ul class="navMenu"&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="..."&gt;Link 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="..."&gt;Link 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="..."&gt;Link 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; </code></pre> <p><em>CSS:</em></p> <pre><code>ul.navMenu li { display: inline; margin-left: 0; } ul.navMenu a { border-left: solid 1px #333333; padding-left: 0.4em; padding-right: 0.4em; } ul.navMenu li.first-child a { border-left: none 0; padding-left: 0; } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
