Question

i have a asp.net repeater control .I have to display only two rows in the repeater .but my dataset has 10 rows ..is there a way to restrict the number of rows of a repater ?

Answer 1

I would Take the appropriate number of rows from your original DataSet

I don’t have my IDE in front of me, but the idea is something like

Repeater1.DataSource = MyDataSet.Take(2).ToList();

Alternatively if you need to sort it, you could try something like this

Repeater1.DataSource = (from ds in MyDataSet
                        select ds
                        orderby SomeValue descending).Take(2); 

You can also skip the first X rows and then return 2

Repeater1.DataSource = MyDataSet.Skip(20).Take(2).ToList();
