How to create a "multi-line" form using repeaters?

[nimarii]

Hello -

I'm new to C#, and can create basic webforms. I'm exploring repeaters, and was wondering if it's possible to create a repeater that will:

1. display existing data
2. enable you to add a new record and save
3. display existing data with newly created record
4. enable you to add another new record

not sure if this can all be encompassed in a repeater, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it very much!

this question is better suited for forum855.

to answer your question repeater is a blank template which allows you to create whatever you want in a repeated manor. There orginal intention was for read-only display. you can use them for read/write operations, but it requires more event wiring.

DataView, GridView, FormView where designed for read/write operations. there are plenty of examples online about how these work.

in the end, it's all just html and your only limited by your imagination.
