Re: Passinf a multiple occcuring data structure

Ideally you'd have some business objects such that you could do:

Teacher t = GetTeacherSomehow();
List<Courses> courses = t.GetCoursesForDate(DateTime.Today);
rptCourseList.DataSource = courses;
rptCourseList.DataBind();

Where rptCourseList is a repeater on your form.

Actually I can see it being a common request to get courses for "today", so I'd actually add a GetTodaysCourses() method on the Teacher class just as a shortcut. Along the lines of

List<Courses> GetTodaysCourses()
{
return this.GetCoursesForToday(DateTime.Today);
}

Of course, the other option to using DateTime would be to use the business object that represented your calendar table. Then you could do stuff like:

SchoolDay.Today.AorBDay to find out if it's an A day or B day. Or SchoolDay.Parse('4/22/09').AorBDay to find out if April 22nd was an A or B day.
