hi i have brand for tools for example consider bosch is a brand. so, this bosch contains many categories so, bosch is 'B' serial in alphabetical right? like that there are several brand which some start with A or B or C or D .......or Z serial. so, now i want to seperate A-B brand, C-D brand......Y-Z brand so that user choose which they need. how to do in asp.net c#. i think we have to use datalist concept. please guide me in correct way.

so you mean, A-B means all the brands which are starting from A or B, C-D means all the brand starting from C or D right ?

You can bind it as shown below :

ASPX Page :

XML

<asp:DataList runat="server" ID="listBrands" OnItemDataBound="listBrands_OnItemDataBound">
               <ItemTemplate>
                   <div style="border: 1px solid #777"></div>
                   <div>Categories : <%# Container.DataItem %> </div>
                   <div>
                       <asp:GridView runat="server" ID="gridBrands"></asp:GridView>
                   </div>
               </ItemTemplate>
           </asp:DataList>

ASPX.cs page :

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.BindList();
}

private void BindList()
{
    var categories = new List<string>();
    for (var i = 65; i < 91; i = i + 2)
    {
        var category = string.Empty;
        categories.Add(((char)i) + "-" + ((char)(i + 1)));
    }

    categories.Insert(0, "0-9");
    this.listBrands.DataSource = categories;
    this.listBrands.DataBind();
}

protected void listBrands_OnItemDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)
{
    var category = e.Item.DataItem;

    var categoryList = e.Item.DataItem.ToString().Split('-');
    var brands = e.Item.FindControl("gridBrands") as GridView;
    if (brands != null)
    {
        // Bind the grid 'brands' based on categoryList object
    }
}
