I haven't used repeaters for much more than showing data from a datatable.
I am building a grid that that shows a list of users and columns of roles that the user has been assigned, shown with checkboxes (shown with true/false below but pretent they are checkboxes).
ex.
|Rep Name|Caller|Closer|Manager|SuperUser|
|Bob |True |true | false | false |
|Tom |false |false |True | True |
Basically using it for roles management.
However the roles may change later on so I want to load the roles(headers and items) dynamically into the repeater.
I am not sure how to do this or if it is even possible.
I figure you grab a list of current role possibilities and load them into the headertemplate but I am not sure how to match those with the itemtemplate and how to create checkboxes and place them in the itemtemplate.
Sorry if it is a rudementary question.... I appreciate any advice!
Datatable example of data that I am going to get... though I will also return ids for roles and users that are not shown here.
DataTable dt = new DataTable(); DataColumn dc = new DataColumn();
dc.DataType = Type.GetType("System.String");
dc.ColumnName = "RepName";
dt.Columns.Add(dc);
dc = new DataColumn();
dc.DataType = Type.GetType("System.Boolean");
dc.ColumnName = "Caller";
dt.Columns.Add(dc);
dc = new DataColumn();
dc.DataType = Type.GetType("System.Boolean");
dc.ColumnName = "closer";
dt.Columns.Add(dc);
dc = new DataColumn();
dc.DataType = Type.GetType("System.Boolean");
dc.ColumnName = "Admin";
dt.Columns.Add(dc);
dc = new DataColumn();
dc.DataType = Type.GetType("System.Boolean");
dc.ColumnName = "SuperUser";
dt.Columns.Add(dc);
DataRow row;
row = dt.NewRow();
row["RepName"] = "Joe";
row["Caller"] = true;
row["closer"] = false;
row["Admin"] = true;
row["SuperUser"] = false;
dt.Rows.Add(row);
row = dt.NewRow();
row["RepName"] = "Bob";
row["Caller"] = true;
row["closer"] = false;
row["Admin"] = true;
row["SuperUser"] = false;
dt.Rows.Add(row);
row = dt.NewRow();
row["RepName"] = "Tom";
row["Caller"] = true;
row["closer"] = false;
row["Admin"] = true;
row["SuperUser"] = false;
dt.Rows.Add(row);
