Question

I have my DetailsView bound to get data. It correctly returns 4 rows of information but only displays

Skill : Javascript

I assume im missing some sort of loop to implement it to display

Skill : Javascript
Skill : C#
Skill : Actionscript 3
Skill : HTML

How would I go about implementing it to behave as

Skill : Javascript, C#, Actionscript 3, HTML

If someone could suggest hwo to implement this I would be greatful.

The DetailsView is used to display the details of a single object. You can’t bind a collection.

If you want to show a list, use a Repeater, for example.

 <asp:Repeater id="Repeater1" runat="server">
<HeaderTemplate>
             <table border="1">
          </HeaderTemplate>
          <ItemTemplate>
             <tr>
                <td> Skill: </td>
                <td> <%# Eval("Skill") %> </td>
             </tr>
          </ItemTemplate>
          <FooterTemplate>
             </table>
          </FooterTemplate>
       </asp:Repeater>
