Question

I have made an instance of the type competition by retrieving data from my database.
The function selectCompetitionById return one row of data.

Competition competition = BLLc.selectCompetitionById(competitionId);

How can I display item of this instance on my page? (Repeater doesn’t work)

Answer 1

If you want to create an auto-generated form, then you could use a DetailsView:

<asp:DetailsView ID="competitionDetails" RunAt="Server" AutoGenerateColumns="true" />

Create a dummy array (with just the one item) as the data source:

competitionDetails.DataSource = new Competition[] { competition };

The other way is to use standard HTML template that references your object. Make it a property of the page first:

<script runat="Server">
    public Competition competition { get; set; }

    void Page_Load()
    {
        competition = BLLc.selectCompetitionById(competitionId);;
        this.DataBind();
    }
</script>

Then reference it in markup as needed:

<div>
    <span>Title</span>
</div>
<div>
    <span><%# competition.Title %></span>
</div>
<div> etc ... </div>
