BulletedList::FirstBulletNumber Property

Gets or sets the value that starts the numbering of list items in an ordered BulletedList control.

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

public:
virtual property int FirstBulletNumber {
	int get ();
	void set (int value);
}
<asp:BulletedList FirstBulletNumber="Int32" />

Property Value

Type: System::Int32
The value that starts the numbering of list items in an ordered BulletedList control. The default is 1.

Use the FirstBulletNumber property to specify the value that starts the numbering of list items in an ordered BulletedList control. The value that is assigned to the FirstBulletNumber property is ignored, if the BulletStyle property is set to the Disc, Square, Circle, or CustomImage values. Although the value of the FirstBulletNumber property is an integer, it does not always cause a bullet to render as a number. For example, if you set the FirstBulletNumber property to 4 and set the BulletStyle property to the value LowerAlpha, the first bullet number will render as a lowercase d.

The value of this property is stored in view state.

The following code example demonstrates how to create a BulletedList control and set the FirstBulletNumber property to specify the value that starts the numbering of list items in the BulletedList control. The value that starts the numbering of the list items changes based on the value that the user enters in the text box.

Security noteSecurity Note

This example has a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview.
