DataList

[crazydevelopervish]

Is it possible to set two DataKeyField in DataList...........
If yes then pls help me out...................

[AleMonteiro]

Try like this:

myDataList.DataKeyFields = "myCol1,myCol2";

[crazydevelopervish]

and then how can i retrive value from it.....
general code is as follows...

DataList1.DataKeyField = "Customer_ID,Product_ID";
String Product_ID = DataList1.DataKeys[e.Item.ItemIndex].ToString();
String Customer_ID = DataList1.DataKeys[e.Item.ItemIndex].ToString();

[AleMonteiro]

Maybe like this:

string keys[] = DataList1.DataKeys[e.Item.ItemIndex].ToString().split(',');
string productId = keys[0];
string customerId = keys[1];

[crazydevelopervish]

not working geting error after including
string keys fixed[]=DataList1.DataKeys[e.Item.ItemIndex].ToString().Split(',');

Error 559 The type of a local declared in a fixed statement must be a pointer type

[AleMonteiro]

What does DataList1.DataKeys[e.Item.ItemIndex] returns?
Debug and see what's the value.

[crazydevelopervish]

it returns only Customer_ID

Sorry, but for what I searched it's not possible to do what you want. DataList doesn't support composite keys, as DataGrid supports.

Take a look at those links:
