I have a repeater control outputting some HTML. I want a table which outputs 4 columns and then start a new row (each column will be the next item in the data set).

I can do this with inline statements:

<%  if ((i + 1) % 4 == 0 && i > 0)                 { //5 items per row%>             </tr>             <% } %>

But I can’t seem to initialise i within the repeater control. Any ideas?

I am using a repeater control because I have implemented pagination as a gridview was not appropriate due to how I am displaying the content.

  1. Depending on exactly what you are looking at doing you could work with a counter that exists and update it on every loop, handling the ‘ItemDataBound’ event of the repeater control. However, determining the ‘last’ entry will be a bit more difficult, but possible.

    However, I think a more appropriate option for you is to use a DataList rather than a repeater, as the data list can automatically render 4 columns and it will handle all of the HTML rendering for you.
