Hi .

I am creating dynamically dataitem for datalist and populating record to it on fly. My problem is that table does not recognize 
Inside ph.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("</td > <td align = left>"));
WHAT IS THE ISSUE

PLEASE HELP...

THANK YOU

CODE THAT I AM USING TO CREATE DATALIST DATAITEM.
public void InstantiateIn(System.Web.UI.Control container )
{
PlaceHolder ph = new PlaceHolder();
ImageMap imp = new ImageMap();
Label item1 = new Label();
..
..

imp.ID = "img1";

switch (templateType)
{
case ListItemType.Header:
ph.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<table border=\"1\">" ));
break;
case ListItemType.Item:

ph.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<tr align = left><td >"));
ph.Controls.Add(imp);
ph.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("</td> <td align = left>")); ph.Controls.Add(item1);
ph.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("</td > <td align = left>"));
ph.Controls.Add(item2);
ph.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("</td > <td align = left>")); ph.Controls.Add(item3);
ph.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("</td > <td align = left>"));
ph.Controls.Add(item4);
ph.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("</td></tr>"));
//ph.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("</table>"));
ph.DataBinding += new EventHandler(Item_DataBinding);
break;

case ListItemType.Footer:
ph.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("</table>"));
break;
}
container.Controls.Add(ph);
}

And binding it as
static void Item_DataBinding(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
PlaceHolder ph = (PlaceHolder)sender;
DataListItem ri = (DataListItem)ph.NamingContainer;
/string impValue = (string)DataBinder.Eval(ri.DataItem, "photopath1");
String item1Value = (String)DataBinder.Eval(ri.DataItem, "Categoryid1");
String item2Value = (String)DataBinder.Eval(ri.DataItem, "subcategoryid1");
String item3Value = (String)DataBinder.Eval(ri.DataItem, "customerid1");
String item4Value = (String ) DataBinder.Eval(ri.DataItem, "retailprice1").ToString() ;
((ImageMap)ph.FindControl("img1")).ImageUrl = impValue;
((Label)ph.FindControl("item1")).Text = item1Value.ToString();
((Label)ph.FindControl("item2")).Text = item2Value.ToString();
((Label)ph.FindControl("item3")).Text = item3Value.ToString();
((Label)ph.FindControl("item4")).Text = item4Value;
}

<td > <td >....

Nothing to do with the placeholder - it is not valid HTML to have a tag placed between two <td> tags...

well it depends how yu want to display them - either put them all in one td tag with br betwen them, or else use the tr tag to start a new table row between each.

Try making up a simple html page with some sample data on it displayed how you want it, then recreate the html there in your code, inserting the records as and when needed.

you're still putting a br between the td tags - just leave out those tow lines:

ph.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<tr ><td align = left >"));
ph.Controls.Add(imp);

ph.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(" "));

ph.Controls.Add(item1);
