Sets a row's data source to an . An IDictionary represents a collection of key-and-value pairs.  

When binding an IDictionary horizontally, you must insert a datamarker for each value you want displayed.

public virtual void BindRowData(System.Collections.IDictionary dataSource, System.String dataSourceName, DataBindingProperties property)

Public Overridable Sub BindRowData(ByVal dataSource As System.Collections.IDictionary, ByVal dataSourceName As String, ByVal [property] As DataBindingProperties)

An IDictionary collection of key-and-value pairs to use as the data source.

The name of the data marker at which to insert the values imported from the data source. For example, to bind a data source to the data marker %%=Orders.OrderId, the value of dataSourceName should be "Orders". The string passed must begin with a letter.

The DataBindingProperties object which contains information about how the data should be bound to the template. property Must be specified, but the DataBindingProperties need not be set beforehand. To bind data to a template with the default DataBindingProperties, pass in ExcelTemplate.CreateDataBindingProperties() as the property value. Otherwise, use the ExcelTemplate.CreateDataBindingProperties() method to generate a new DataBindingProperties object and set the DataBindingProperties.MaxRows, DataBindingProperties.Transpose, and/or DataBindingProperties.WorksheetName properties for the workbook.

BindRowData will throw this exception if null (C#) or Nothing (VB.NET) is passed to the method.

You can set several data sources for a single template. Use the following methods to set template data sources: BindCellData, BindColumnData,BindRowData, and BindData.


          ExcelTemplate xlt = new ExcelTemplate();
          xlt.Open(@"C:\ExcelWriter\EmployeeOrdersTemplate.xls");

          //--- Bind the IDictionary collection to the
          //--- %%=Orders.[Field] data marker.
          xlt.BindRowData(OrdersColl,
               "Orders",
               xlt.CreateDataBindingProperties());
          xlt.Process();
          xlt.Save(Page.Response, "EmployeeOrders.xls", false);
        

          Dim xlt As New ExcelTemplate()
          xlt.Open("C:\ExcelWriter\EmployeeOrdersTemplate.xls")

          '--- Bind the IDictionary collection to the
          '--- %%=Orders.[Field] data marker.
          xlt.BindRowData(OrdersColl, _
               "Orders", _
               xlt.CreateDataBindingProperties())
          xlt.Process()
          xlt.Save(Page.Response, "EmployeeOrders.xls", False)
