Generating Serial Number in DataList/Repeater template column!!

Hi,
   
1.  When every time a row is binding "OnItemCommand" event is fired. So add a template column for serial number.  Find for that control in column one. Then u assign a running serial number to it.

2. Try the below one.

<asp:HyperLink Target=_blank NavigateUrl="yourpage.aspx?ID=<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.DataItem, "<place the COLUMN NAME U WANT TO PASS> ") %>" ></asp:HyperLink>

Hi,
   I'm giving in C# syntax.  Please convert to VB.NET if ur using. Please let me know if anything else.

1. For Serial No.

   1.1 In ASPX file. Place this code.

<asp:DataGrid id="DataGrid1" style="Z-INDEX: 104; LEFT: 88px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 208px" runat="server" Width="216px" Height="120px">
<Columns >
      <asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="SL.No" >
            <ItemTemplate>
                  <asp:Label ID="sl" Runat=server></asp:Label>
            ItemTemplate>
      </asp:TemplateColumn>
</Columns>
</asp:DataGrid>

2. Put the below code in Code behind method -------- InitializeComponent()
    this.DataGrid1.ItemDataBound += new DataGridItemEventHandler(this.Item_bound);


3. Add the below new mothod and member(i) in code behind.

Int32 i = 0;
void Item_bound(Object sender, DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
if((e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item) || (e.Item.ItemType ==  
                                                                         ListItemType.AlternatingItem))
      e.Item.Cells[0].Text = i.ToString();

      i++;
}

4. Add below method in Page Load(), to populate dummy value in DataGrid.

ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
list.Add("A");
list.Add("B");
list.Add("C");
DataGrid1.DataSource = list;
DataGrid1.DataBind();

Hi apeter,

Thank u for ur gr8 suggession.

Its working ok in VS.et 2005.
But in VS.net 2003, the last row number is displayed in all rows (ie). if the record count is 5, then 5 is displayed in all rows.

I am in doubt that, after processing the "ItemDatabound" method, it is rendering the data!!!

pls try the final solution!!!

regards

Hi,
   Could you please give me your code. So that i can see where it is going wrong. See that ur using the same variable for Serial Number and for row count also.
