[web] Fill table with content on ASP page
Author
I know this is a simple question, and everyone is preparing the [google] icon, but I cant seem to find anything that I can understand on the information superhighway. I am still quite new to ASP [smile]
Basically, I have a table here that I am currently updating manually with content from the DB. I am trying to figure out how I can grab the fields I need from the DB and autofill the table with the content. At the moment I can only seem to figure out how to get one line to print.
Any ideas?
You want to do something like this:
<%set rsRequests= conSR.Execute("SELECT * FROM [Master Maintenance] WHERE Something Here") while NOT rsRequests.EOF%><TR> <TD align=left width=250><%= rsRequests("Title") %></TD> <TD align=right width=100><%= rsRequests("Date") %></TD> <TD align=right width=100><%= rsRequests("Complete") %></TD> </TR><% rsRequests.movenext wend%>Quote:Original post by jswidorski
You want to do something like this:
<CODE>
<%
set rsRequests= conSR.Execute("SELECT * FROM [Master Maintenance] WHERE Something Here")
while NOT rsRequests.EOF
%>
<TD align=left width=250><%= rsRequests("Title") %></TD>
<TD align=right width=100><%= rsRequests("Request Date") %></TD>
<TD align=right width=100><%= rsRequests("Complete Date") %></TD>
</TR>
<%
rsRequests.movenext
wend
%>
</CODE>
How do I put this in a code block?
you want [ source ] tags
boolean, what's your db? Here's an example how to do it in SQL server with vb:
I like to build the entire table with server side code, rather than jswidorski's method, but either will work fine. So in your html you've got something like:
<body>
<form>
----stuff
<%CreateTable%> ----the place where you want your table
</form>
</body>
Then in your code behind:
The ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnString") line just reads the connection string I set up in web.config (which is a nice way to do things so that you don't have to write out the whole string each time. You can use either a DataReader or DataAdapter depeding on what you want to do with the data.
Oh yeah, the Sub or Function has to be public for you to be able to call it like this.

Zul, that looks suspiciously like .NET code [wink]
You got me :P
