Will there be a Data Repeater control released in C# for Windows Forms?

Hello,

It seems that VB users have one available now. Are there any plans to add this or does anyone know of any sample code for repeating controls in TableLayoutPanel?

Thx

Hi,

There's not such Data Repeater control in C# for Windows Forms application, you can use a TableLayoutPanel instead, calling its Control.Add() method in a for loop to add controls into it,

Code Snippet

(int j = 0; j < this.tableLayoutPanel1.RowCount; j++)

{

for (int k = 0; k < this.tableLayoutPanel1.ColumnCount; k++)

{

TextBox t = new TextBox();

this.tableLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(t, k, j);

}

DataRepeater will be available in Visual Studio 2008 SP1.

Just want to add a note here. DataRepeater control under the VisualBasicPowerPacks can be used for both VB and C#.
