I need some advice with getting data from the data reader and inserting it into a div as a drag and droppable div.
I have a div setup to hold all of the dnd objects, but each object needs to be its own div to use with my javascript code.
CODE

Try
    conn.Open()
    reader = cmdSelect.ExecuteReader()
    While reader.Read()
      unavailable.Add(reader.item("UnAvailable").ToString())
    End While
  
    reader.close()

    myreader = sql.ExecuteReader()
    while myreader.Read()
      available.Add(myreader.item("Available").ToString())
    end while
        
    myreader.Close()
    
    conn.Close()
    
  Catch
  End Try

In other words I need a dynamic number of divs, each containing a value(happens to be a name), from my database. I intend to drag these names from one area of the page and drop them in another area of the page.
Any advice?

Since you are referrring to Html elements, I am going to assume you are using ASP.NET with VB code-behind. Is that correct?

You could use the StringBuilder object to create the div in code. Once you have the data inserted into the div into the proper locations then move on the next div you need to create. Once you have completed building all the divs', either stored in some type of List (array, arraylist, etc) or built as one big string, then send the data to your page.

Is this what you were looking for? If not, then can you be a little more specific about which part you are having trouble.
