Nested ListViews in ASP.NET

Question

I am nesting 3 listviews. I use the itemdatabound event to find my second listview to bind to.

My question is how do I find the third listview. How do I access the itemdatabound of the second listview to then find the third control.

Hope that makes sense

Thanks

EDIT: Can someone point me to a good example or tutorial on how to do this?

Answer 1

The easiest way to do this is to place your nested ListViews in user controls so the first listview contains user control which is built from a list view that contains a second user control that in turn contains a listview.

The disadvantage of this is that your code is then spread over 3 elements rather than just one, there are also some interesting challenges in getting the right information in the right places (communicating up and down the nested tree) - but it does allow you to deal with the event issues in a fairly straightforward manner.
