.NET Mobile Lists

A static list of items will be displayed on the List control. Use an SelectionList control to enable users to select an item. Use an ObjectList control to view information from a database in tabular format. A List control must be placed within the Form or Panel control, or inside the control's template on a mobile Web page. You can also drag it onto a mobile user control page.

Add items to a list by clicking the ellipsis button in the Items box in the Properties window, and then using the List Properties dialog box. The number of items that the list contains can be observed by settin the ItemCount property. The list will be paginated on some devices. Set the ItemsPerPage property to the preferred number of list items to be displayed on each page.

The List control can populate its items and set property values dynamically based on values in a data source, using data binding. To bind the control to data, set the DataSource property to an object that implements the IEnumerable interface, and set the DataMember property to the data source's member (such as a dataset table) to read from when the control performs data binding. The DataTextField and DataValueField properties bind data to the Text and Value properties, respectively.

Set the appearance of the List control with the Alignment, ForeColor, Font, StyleReference, and Wrapping properties. To prevent a line break after a List control, set its BreakAfter property to false.
