how to make Responsive DataList asp.net - css

Question

I have an Asp.net DataList control in my page. It is currently having repeatcolumns set to 4 which will give me 4 columns in each row. But I want to make this responsive and set the value to 1 for smaller screen sizes. Below is my asp.net control:
<asp:DataList runat="server" RepeatDirection="Horizontal" RepeatColumns="4" ID="dd" class="vex-res">
How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

You cannot make DataList to be responsive, because it renders as Table.
Instead, you need to use ListView with bootstrap (or some other responsive framework).
<asp:ListView ID="ListView1" runat="server" ...>
...
<ItemTemplate>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4"><%# Eval("Name") %></div>
<div class="col-md-4"><%# Eval("Email") %></div>
<div class="col-md-4"><%# Eval("Address") %></div>
</div>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>

<asp:DataList ID="dlCustomers" runat="server" RepeatDirection="Horizontal" RepeatLayout="Flow" CssClass="row">
<ItemTemplate>
<%-- <div class="row">--%>
<div class="col-sm-4"><!--THUMBNAIL#2-->
<div class="panel-body">
<span class="label label-warning"><%# Eval("status")%></span>
<div class="thumbnail label-success">
<asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# "~/" +Eval("image1").ToString().Trim() %>' Width="150px" Height="150px" />
<div class="caption"><h4>Rp.<small> <%# Eval("harga")%></small></h4>
<strong><%# Eval("judul") %></strong>
<p>
<small>LT:<strong> <%# Eval("luastanah")%> m2</strong> </small> <small> LB : <strong> <%# Eval("luasbangunan")%> m2</strong> </small>
<small>Setifikat : <strong><%# Eval("sertifikasi")%></strong> </small> <br />
<small> Kamar : <strong><%# Eval("kamartidur")%></strong> </small><br />
<small> Kamar Mandi : <strong><%# Eval("kamarmandi")%></strong> </small>
</p>

Coming to this a little late but I found an asp:repeater works well and no additional CSS is required to get the layout repeating horizontally.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<asp:Repeater ID="myRepeater" runat="server" DataSourceID="myDataSourceID">
<ItemTemplate>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<%# Eval("itemID")%><br />
<%# Eval("itmName")%>
</div>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
</div>
</div>
I realise that this will result in the total columns in one row adding up to more than 12 but as this will just wrap to the line underneath it shouldn't really matter.

Answer 4

You can also try setting RepeatLayout="Flow". That will cause your datalist to render as a series of <div> elements, which will behave more responsively.

<asp:DataList ID="DataList1" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="uxPosts_ItemDataBound1" cssClass="row" RepeatLayout="Flow" RepeatDirection="Horizontal">
<ItemTemplate>
<div class="col-sm-3 col-md-3 col-lg-3"><%# Eval("Name") %></div>
<div class="col-sm-3 col-md-3 col-lg-3"><%# Eval("Email") %></div>
<div class="col-sm-3 col-md-3 col-lg-3"><%# Eval("Address") %></div>
<div class="col-sm-3 col-md-3 col-lg-3"><%# Eval("Phone") %></div>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>

<asp:DataList ID="uxPosts" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="uxPosts_ItemDataBound1" cssClass="row" RepeatLayout="Flow" RepeatDirection="Horizontal">

<div class="col-xs-4 col-sm-4 col-md-4 " style="text-align:center;" >
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Descripcion","{0:d}") %>'></asp:Label>

<div class="col-xs-4 col-sm-4 col-md-4 " style="text-align:center;" >
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Descripcion","{0:d}") %>'></asp:Label>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4 col-sm-4 col-md-4 " style="text-align:center;" >

</asp:DataList>

Answer 7

You can do it with asp literal, write the code in the string and add it to literal,
suppose you want to show items dynamically
you can do it this way
Add html
<div class="any_css_class">
<div class="any_css_class2">
<asp:Literal ID="Literal1" runat="server"></asp:Literal>
</div>
</div>
and in your cs file
string htmlcode = ""; //code you want in your html
foreach (FetchedDetails fd in yourListOfItems)
{
htmlcode += "<div class='content content-1' onclick=\"dosomething('" + fd.itemId + "')\"> " +
"<div class='fab fa-any_icon'></div> " +
"<h2>" + fd.anyAttribute + "</h2> ";
}
Literal1.Text = htmlcode; //add code to literal
This will do it. It will be responsive but you have to define your css properly :)
