Can I Number a GroupTemplate or ItemTemplate?
- by Atomiton
I would like to use a GroupTemplate to separate a list of items into groups. However, I need each Group to be numbered sequentially so I can link to them and implement some JS paging. I'm binding to an IEnumerable
Here's some pseudo code. I would like the output to look like this:
<a href="#group1">Go to Group 1<a>
<a href="#group2">Go to Group 2<a>
<a href="#group3">Go to Group 3<a>
<ul id="group1">
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>
</ul>
<ul id="group2">
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>
</ul>
<ul id="group3">
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>
</ul>
Is this easy to do in a ListView, using GroupTemplate and ItemTemplate?
<asp:ListView ID="lv" runat="server" GroupPlaceholderID="groupPlaceholder">
<LayoutTemplate>
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="groupPlaceholder" runat="server"></asp:PlaceHolder>
</LayoutTemplate>
<GroupTemplate>
<ul id="<!-- group-n goes here -->">
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="itemPlaceholder" runat="server"></asp:PlaceHolder>
</ul>
</GroupTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<li>Item</li>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
I can get the number of groups to do the links at the top from the Datasource and basic math, but how do I get id="groupN" number into the template?
