Mix the ASP.net code behind and the HTML

Hi,

I have a need to extract some data from a sql database, which I store in a
dataset, and display this in a HTML list tag.

I have the result set in my code behind file, but have no idea on how to get
this into the HTML.

In the HTML I have this snippet

<ul>
<li><a href="http://links.10026.com/?link=somepage.aspx?param=1">Link Text</a></li>
<li><a href="http://links.10026.com/?link=somepage.aspx?param=1">Link Text</a></li>
<li><a href="http://links.10026.com/?link=somepage.aspx?param=1">Link Text</a></li>
</ul>

I want to be able to replace the param value, and the link text with values
from the SQL dataset in the code behind file

How can I do this ?

Thanksyou can do it with datalist component.

<asp:DataList ID="DataList1" runat="server" DataKeyField="LinkId"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
<ItemTemplate>
LinkId:
<li><a href="http://links.10026.com/?link=somepage.aspx?param=<%# Eval("pramId")
%>"><%# Eval("yourcolumnname") %></a></li>

<br />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList></ul>

you have to set the sql datasource according to your query and
Hi Aussie,

As Hakan suggested, you can use some built-in template databound control to
author page UI that need to display dynamic content(list) based on data
records retrieved from database(datasource). And those built-in controls
like Repeater, DataList are good at this:

#Repeater Web Server Control

#Databinding in Templates

In addition, for some general ASP.NET programming tasks, you can refer to
the ASP.NET quickstart site to get some ideas:
