I am using ASP.NET 2.0 with SQL Server 2005 as my database back-end. My site is GameSecretary.Com. I have around 300 games organized into ten general categories. But these games have other relationships that I want reflected. If one currently views a DetailView of a game on the site it looks like this:
ID
Title
Popularity
Overall Popularity
Description
Dangers
Variants
Source
Last Played
Type
I would like to add:
Related
In the instance of the game "Traditional Dodgeball" in the related field would be the following:
Dr. Dodgeball, Freeball, Points Dodgeball, Tag Dodgeball, Shark Dodgeball.
The problem is, going from the underlying data source to the DetailsView. The underlying Relationships data is contained in a table entitled GameRelationships and containing three columns:
ID - auto-increment unique identifier
gID - ID of the game
rID - ID of the game to which it is related
So there are multiple rows containing the data for the above field. It might look something like this:
1 - 3 - 15 (Dr. Dodgeball)
42 - 3 - 17 (Freeball)
72 - 3 - 14(Points Dodgeball)
8 - 3 - 78 (Tag Dodgeball)
50 - 3 - 100 (Shark Dodgeball)
How do I take these multiple rIDs and combine them into one column and convert their numeric IDs to a textual name.
David.
