Namespace:  System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
[TemplateContainerAttribute(typeof(RepeaterItem))]
[BrowsableAttribute(false)]

public virtual ITemplate HeaderTemplate { get; set; }
<asp:Repeater>
	<HeaderTemplate>ITemplate</HeaderTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

Property Value

Type: System.Web.UI.ITemplate
A System.Web.UI.ITemplate that defines how the header section of the Repeater control is displayed. The default value is null.

Use this property to create a template that controls how the header section of a Repeater control is displayed.

Caution note Caution

This control can be used to display user input, which might include malicious client script. Check any information that is sent from a client for executable script, SQL statements, or other code before displaying it in your application. ASP.NET provides an input request validation feature to block script and HTML in user input. Validation server controls are also provided to assess user input. For more information, see Validation Server Control Syntax.

The following example demonstrates how to use the HeaderTemplate to control the appearance of the header for the Repeater control. Notice that the HeaderTemplate contains the table's start tag (<table>).

Examples- none working.
Please, when you post an illustration regarding a subject can you have the decency to state whether it is a working example or not. Today alone I have tied to emulate 32 of your examples and NONE have worked.  Many of your examples are not 'real-time' either. I have wasted too many months touring your pages in the hopes of learning and I have not learnt a thing due to non working 'examples', worthless examples, or just plain abstractions.  To be honest it is beyond a joke.  When you attempt to explain simple subjects such as this it stands to reason that the people consulting the article are 'beginners' therefore CARE ashould be taken with the illustration and all necessary details should be included.  An expert will look at this and laugth be cause to them it is obvious that the code is worthless but to a beginner they do not have the benefit of that experience. Wake Microsoft and remember your roots.
