Hello,

Does anyone know of a way to prevent the asp:datalist control from creating
html code table and table row tags when it is rendered. I have normally
just incorporated this into the layout of my html code, however, I am now
working on a project with several layers deep of html table nesting and it
would be like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle to figure out where I should
place the datalist control in order for my html to display properly? I am
afraid the answer is that this cannot be changed?

Any other databinding solutions that will allow me to get around without
modifying my html layout?

This is an example of where MS attempts to make it easier for developers by
creating a server control, but in turn developers lose some control of the
layout. Perhaps skipping through the dataset like an old recordset in
classic asp would be a less intrusive solution for me??

Thanks
 
Chris,

You could use the Asp:Repeater tag and highly customize our your data out
put.
