ASPxDataView.ItemTemplate Property

Gets or sets a common template used for displaying the content of a ASPxDataView‘s data items.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.2.dll

Declaration

[DefaultValue(null)]
public virtual ITemplate ItemTemplate { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Default Description
ITemplate null

An object that supports the ITemplate interface.

Remarks

Use the ItemTemplate property to define a common content for a ASPxDataView‘s data items. The template created using this property replaces the content of each data item preserving its style settings (if specified).

To display item data, populate the template with data-bound controls and use data binding expressions to associate them with the corresponding data fields. Below is an example of a simple item template.

...
<ItemTemplate>
    <table>
        <tr>
            <td>
                <dx:ASPxLabel ID="lblName" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Name") %>' Font-Bold="true" />
            </td>
            <td>
                <dx:ASPxImage ID="imgPhoto" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# Eval("ImageUrl") %>' ShowLoadingImage="true" />
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>
                <dx:ASPxLabel ID="lblDescription" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Description") %>' />
            </td>
        </tr>
    </table>
</ItemTemplate>

ASPxDataView DataBound ItemTemplate

Note

Once a template defined via the ItemTemplate property is created within a control, it is instantiated within a container object of the DataViewItemTemplateContainer type. This container object exposes a set of specific properties to which the template’s child controls can be bound.

Example

This example demonstrates how data displayed by the ASPxDataView control can be filtered on custom callbacks initiated by a call to the client PerfromCallback method.
