Table Column with Multiple Fields

This example shows how can display multiple fields within a column.  For example, you might store the first name and the last name of a customer in separate database fields, but would like to display them within a column.  This can be accomplished by specifying a layout where the display column contains two GEN:FieldValue tags.

              </tr>

              </GEN:ItemTemplate>

          </table>

          </GEN:Table>

     </div>

Procedure

Step 1:  Create the layout page file as shown above containing the ItemTemplate code generation tag with the desired layout.  The contents can be displayed in a tabular format as shown in previous examples or can be shown with any custom layout you specify.

You can also create a different alternating layout as well.

Step 2:  Set the data binding properties for the FieldValue tags.

Step 3:  Build and run the application.
