Change repeater li item class if first or last

Question

I\'m using repeater to create dynamic ul li list

Is it possible to control class whether item is first or last?

Something like:

class=\"<%         


        

Answer 1

I wasn't able to use Alex's answer directly. Here are the modifications I made that worked for me. Using Alex's "repeater example" for the asp:Repeater tag, use this in the code behind:

private string[] data = new string[] { "first", "second", "third" };
protected int ItemCount { get; set; }

private void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // normally one would fetch the data here right before binding like this:
    // data = SomeService.SomeMethodToGetData();
    repeater.DataSource = data;
    repeater.DataBind();
}

public override void DataBind()
{
    ItemCount = data.Count();
}

protected string GetItemClass(int itemIndex)
{
    if (itemIndex == 0)
        return "first";
    else if (itemIndex == this.ItemCount - 1)
        return "last";
    else
        return "other";
}
