AutoNumber Column In GridView DataList ASP.NET

This example explains how to Add AutoNumber Column In GridView Or DataList In ASP.NET 2.0,3.5,4.0 Using C# And VB.NET. Several times we need to display Auto Number or serial number for Rows records in gridview or other similar controls in ASP.NET.

We can add AutoNumber column by using Container.DataItemIndex property in html markup of the Gridview.



Here's the sample html markup for the page

<title>Auto Number Cloumn in GridView </title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" 
              AllowPaging="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
              DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" PageSize="6" 
              AlternatingRowStyle-BackColor="#006699" 
              AlternatingRowStyle-ForeColor="#FFFFFF" >
    <Columns>
    <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Serial Number">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <%# Container.DataItemIndex + 1 %>
    </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:TemplateField>
    <asp:BoundField DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" 
                    SortExpression="Name" />
    <asp:BoundField DataField="Location" HeaderText="Location" 
                    SortExpression="Location" />
    </Columns>
    </asp:GridView>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" 
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [Name], [Location] FROM [Details]">
</asp:SqlDataSource>

Hope this helps

It was hitherto a subject of declaration to whether or not being had to contain a drift to be lived. It now becomes obvious, on the contrary, that it will-power be lived all the think twice if it has no meaning.

And you in the long run get to a consensus, where you get a sense of what in effect ought to be done, and then they entrust it to me and then I draw it. I without fail delineate it in the drift, the theoretical sense.
