What is the best practice for ouputting data from a collection on an ASP.net Page?
- by bshacklett
I've ported a page from classic ASP to ASP.net. Part of what happens in this page is that a collection of custom types is generated and then displayed via Response.Write() commands. I'd like to get the business logic separated out into a code behind file (and maybe move this all into a user control), but I can't seem to figure out how I'd actually display the collection once it's been generated. I want to specify a master page here, too, so the code can't stay inline. Here's a very stripped down version of the current code:
<%
Dim objs as ArrayList = New ArrayList()
For i = 0 To 2
Dim obj as Obj = New Obj()
obj.setProp1("ASDF")
obj.setProp2("FDSA")
objs.Add(obj)
Next i
%>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th scope="col">Property 1</th>
<th scope="col">Property 2</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<%
For Each obj As Obj In objs
Dim objProp1 As String = obj.getProp1
Dim objProp2 As String = obj.getProp2
%>
<tr>
<td><% Response.Write(objProp1)%></td>
<td><% Response.Write(objProp2)%></td>
</tr>
<%
Next
%>
</tbody>
</table>
What is the ".net" way of doing this?
