Property Value

Type: System.Web.UI::ITemplate
An object that contains the custom content for the alternating data item in a ListView control. The default is nullptr, which indicates that this property is not set.

Use the AlternatingItemTemplate property to define a custom user interface (UI) for the alternating data item. The AlternatingItemTemplate template usually contains the same controls and content as the ItemTemplate template, but with a different appearance to distinguish items.

To specify the custom template declaratively, add an AlternatingItemTemplate element inside the ListView control. Then add controls and content between the opening and closing <AlternatingItemTemplate> tags. To display the field values from the data source, use a data-binding expression. For more information, see Data-Binding Expressions Overview.

To create buttons that automatically select, delete, and edit operations, add a button control to the template. Set its CommandName property to one of the values listed in the following table.

Button type

CommandName value

Delete

"Delete"

Edit

"Edit"

Select

"Select"
