I am working a project and i need to display on a form (frmCaterlogs) a list of items. I have successfully implimented a custom list using a user control & FlowLayOutPanel. However now i am stuck on how i can bind my caterlogs that sits on a sql database to my custom list: Here is my code. on the custome_list(CatList), i have 4 controls, Id, Titile, Description, Icon stored in database as binarydata in the sqldb. I am lost on how i can bind data to the custom list control that can look thought all the records in my database. Thanking you all in advace for your kind advices.
private void PopulateCatelog()// This code is triggered when frmcaterlogs loads.
{
int l;
string query = "SELECT * from ServicesCaterlogs";
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(cn);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, con);
SqlDataAdapter sda = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
ListView Items = new ListView()
sda.Fill(dt);
l = dt.Rows.Count;
foreach(DataRow dr in dt.Rows) // This is where i am stuck
{
CatList iList = new CatList(dr["Item"].ToString());
iList.Title = dr;
}
CatList[] ListItem = new CatList[l];
//Loop though to check each item
for (int i = 0; i < ListItem.Length; i++)
{
ListItem[i] = new CatList();
ListItem[i].Title = fetch data for a list;
ListItem[i].Message = "fetch data for a lis";
ListItem[i].icon = Resources.Warning;
ListItem[i].IconBackground1 = Color.DarkGoldenrod;
if (FlowLayoutPanel.Controls.Count < 0)
{
FlowLayoutPanel.Controls.Clear();
}
else
{
FlowLayoutPanel.Controls.Add(ListItem[i]);
}
}

I got the desired result after altering the code as seen below
private void FrmCatalogs_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PopulateCatelog();
}
private void PopulateCatelog()
{
//Populate your listitem here
int l;
string query = "SELECT * from ServicesCaterlogs";
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(cn);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, con);
SqlDataAdapter sda = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
sda.Fill(dt);
l = dt.Rows.Count;
foreach(DataRow dr in dt.Rows)
{
ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem(dr["Item"].ToString());
ListViewItem des = new ListViewItem(dr["Item_Description"].ToString());
CatList[] ListItem = new CatList[l];
for (int i = 0; i < ListItem.Length - l +1 ; i++)
{
ListItem[i] = new CatList();
ListItem[i].Title = item.Text;
ListItem[i].Message = des.Text;
ListItem[i].icon = Resources.Warning;
ListItem[i].IconBackground1 = Color.DarkGoldenrod;
if (FlowLayoutPanel.Controls.Count < 0)
{
FlowLayoutPanel.Controls.Clear();
}
else
{
FlowLayoutPanel.Controls.Add(ListItem[i]);
}
}
}
}
