Question

I want to do something like this:

<MyTemplate>     <span><%# Container.Title %></span>     <MySubTemplate>        <span><%# Container.Username %></span>     </MySubTemplate> </MyTemplate> 

Assuming I have a list of Titles that each have a list of Usernames.. If this is a correct approach how can I do this or what is a better way?

Answer 1

If you have a list of titles, that each have their own list of UserNames, it seems like you want to do something with nested repeaters (or other controls), not templates…

    <asp:Repeater ID='rptTitle' runat='server' >         <ItemTemplate>             <%# Eval('Title') %>             <asp:Repeater ID='rptUsers' runat='server' >                 <ItemTemplate>                     <%# Eval('UserName') %>                 </ItemTemplate>             </asp:Repeater>         </ItemTemplate>     </asp:Repeater> 

And then bind the rptUsers during the ItemDataBound event of rptTitle…
