ASP.NET: ListView Control and Nested ListViews

I have grown to love (in a purely sensible way) the ASP.NET ListView control. It's very flexible and gives you a lot of control over how you display your data on your site.

I needed to display on a summary screen not only the orders belonging to a specific customer, but the products belonging to each order. So I built a ListView to display the orders, then nested another ListView inside it which displays the products belonging to that order.

After some rooting around on the net, I found this excellent tutorial for nesting ListViews that I'll definitely be revisiting in future.
