I can do this in ASP, but no clue for ASP.NET

From within a FormView control, by looking at a particular column in my
FormView, I can determine the "service type" of any particular record.
Another table in my database will tell me how many "categories" that "service
type has" (it's dynamic...different service types have a different numbers of
categories). Once I determine how many "categories" there are, I want to
display a panel for each category that has the category name at the top of
the panel. And finally, in each panel is a set of checkbox items
("menuItems"), the number and content of which is dynamic based on the
category.

This was pretty straightforward in ASP, but I have no clue how to do this in
ASP.NET. Can anyone get me started in the correct direction? There seems to
this newbie to be too many "dynamic" elements for me to wrap my head around.

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me see the light of .NET.

The answer to your question would involve more information than can
fit into a newsgroup reply. However, there are excellent resources
available that can help. See http://www.gotdotnet.com/ and
