Master / Details list

[Brad Simon]

I would like to know how to build a master / list details
page that is a little different than anything I see in
examples.

I want something like this:

Master
Details
Details
Details
Master
Details
Details
Master
Details
Details
Details
Details
Details

I am sure you can get the idea.

How can I do this using any of the data controls? Do I
use a combination of them, or what?

Thanks,
Brad Simon

Hi Brad,

Here's a great article with code on doing what you need:

Ken,

That looks like a great article, but before I start
playing with all that code, does this only work if I want
to expand / collapse the row? Because I am not really
interested in expanding or collapsing the data, I just
want to have it all displayed at one time.
