I have a datalist bound to an arraylist holding 3 chart controls.
I want to display the charts in the datalist :

....
dtlcharts.Datasource = arrCharts
dtlcharts.Databind()

....

<asp:datalist id="dtlcharts" runat="server" >
<ItemTemplate>
control1 goes here
</ItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
control2 goes here
</ItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
control3 goes here
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:datalist>

how can I add the 3 controls into the datalist ??

Jon maybe try turning them into UserControls.

hidden control1 goes here
hidden control2 goes here
hidden control3 goes here
</ItemTemplate>

In ItemDataBound event decide what control should be visible for the item
and make it visible.

my solution, for others who may be interested.

I could not get datalist to work, so I did this:

<table<tr>
<td> <asplaceholder id="ph1" runat="server" /> </td>
<td> <asplaceholder id="ph2" runat="server" /> </td>
<td> <asplaceholder id="ph3" runat="server" /> </td>
</tr></table>

As it turns out, the placeholders will "stack" the additional graphs as they are added, giving me the grid of graphs I was hoping
for.

i.e., each row holds 3 charts, positioned horizontally. "Stacking effect" simulates multiple rows.

Thanks to those who replied.
