Question

Supposing I have a set of comma separated lists which I need to display into a Repeater, how would I?

So,

List1 = "1, 2, 3, 4"
List2 = "a, b, c, d"

If I convert these to arrays, how do I bind them to a Repeater and get the values of each list within the Repeater?

I want to get an HTML output that looks like this:

<div>
    <span> CONTENT TO LIST 1(0) </span>
    <span> CONTENT OF LIST 2(0) </span>
</div>

<div>
    <span> CONTENT TO LIST 1(1) </span>
    <span> CONTENT OF LIST 2(1) </span>
</div>
.... etc

Yes you can, here is a simple example.

Markup:

<asp:Repeater ID="rpTest" runat="server">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <div id="row<%# Eval("ID").ToString() %>">DIV CONTENT</div>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

Prep Test Code:

public class TestObject
{
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public string Text { get; set; }
}

In your Page_Load or where you initialize the Repeater:

List<TestObject> lst = new List<TestObject>();
lst.Add(new TestObject() { ID = 0, Text = "Zero" });
lst.Add(new TestObject() { ID = 1, Text = "One" });
lst.Add(new TestObject() { ID = 2, Text = "Two" });
lst.Add(new TestObject() { ID = 3, Text = "Three" });

rpTest.DataSource = lst;
rpTest.DataBind();

Output:

<div id="row0">DIV CONTENT</div>     
<div id="row1">DIV CONTENT</div>     
<div id="row2">DIV CONTENT</div>    
<div id="row3">DIV CONTENT</div>

EDIT:

To bind to an Array just assign the Array to the DataSource and then access the Array items in your binding with:

<%# Container.DataItem %>
