FormView.FooterTemplate Property

Note: This property is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.

Gets or sets the user-defined content for the footer row in a FormView control.

Namespace: System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

<TemplateContainerAttribute(GetType(FormView))> _
Public Overridable Property FooterTemplate As ITemplate

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As FormView
Dim value As ITemplate

value = instance.FooterTemplate

instance.FooterTemplate = value

[TemplateContainerAttribute(typeof(FormView))] 
public virtual ITemplate FooterTemplate { get; set; }

C++

[TemplateContainerAttribute(typeof(FormView))] 
public:
virtual property ITemplate^ FooterTemplate {
    ITemplate^ get ();
    void set (ITemplate^ value);
}

/** @property */
public ITemplate get_FooterTemplate ()

/** @property */
public void set_FooterTemplate (ITemplate value)

JScript

public function get FooterTemplate () : ITemplate

public function set FooterTemplate (value : ITemplate)

Property Value

A System.Web.UI.ITemplate that contains the custom content for the footer row. The default value is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), which indicates that this property is not set.

Remarks

The footer row is displayed at the bottom of the FormView control when the FooterText or FooterTemplate property is set. You can define your own custom user interface (UI) for the footer row by using the FooterTemplate property. To specify a custom template for the footer row, first place <FooterTemplate> tags between the opening and closing tags of the FormView control. You can then list the contents of the template between the opening and closing <FooterTemplate> tags. To control the style of the footer row, use the FooterStyle property. Alternatively, you can simply display text in the footer row by setting the FooterText property instead of this property.

Note
If both the FooterText and FooterTemplate properties are set, the FooterTemplate property takes precedence.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to use the FooterTemplate property to define a custom template to render for the footer row.

Visual Basic

<%@ Page language="VB" %>

<script runat="server">

  Sub EmployeeFormView_ItemCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

    ' Use the FooterRow property to retrieve the footer row.
    Dim footer As FormViewRow = EmployeeFormView.FooterRow

    ' Retrieve the FooterLabel Label control from the footer row. 
    Dim footerLabel As Label = CType(footer.FindControl("FooterLabel"), Label)

    If footerLabel IsNot Nothing Then
      
      ' Display the current page number.
      Dim currentPage As Integer = EmployeeFormView.PageIndex + 1
      footerLabel.Text = "Page " & currentPage.ToString()
    
    End If
  
  End Sub
