Question

What’s wrong with this piece of code?

onclick="javascript:myclick('<%# Container.DataItemIndex %>')"

I am trying to pass the rowNumber of a listview control to javascript function “myclick”. The above code passes all the string “<%# Container.DataItemIndex %>” as parameter (without quotes). But I want just the counter (1,2,…)

Any correction/ suggestion?

Thanks

You could use the ListView’s ItemDataBound event:

protected void ListView1_ItemDataBound(object sender, ListViewItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item.ItemType == ListViewItemType.DataItem)
    {
        Hyperlink hlProperyLink  = (Hyperlink)e.Item.FindControl("hlProperyLink");
        hlProperyLink.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:myclick('" + e.Item.DataItemIndex.ToString() + "')");
    }
}
