DBRepeater

DBRepeater is a repeater container inside which you can place data-aware components, so for each record from its DataSource it prints those components. See the workflow below to get a better idea.

Usage

Workflow

You can use DBRepeater to design the way the fields from a database should be displayed for each item (row), using other data-aware components. For example, you could use labels, images, buttons, and more.

Once the design for an item is ready, associate each data-aware component to the field of the row they will use, and place them inside a DBRepeater. Then, link both the components and the DBRepeater to a common Datasource.

Then, when you run your application, each row retrieved from the database by the Datasource will be displayed using your design.

Note: For more information on how to setup the database part, check this page.
