System.Web.UI.WebControls Namespace   DataList Class

---

Specifies the template to use for the footer in a DataList.

<asp:datalist ... >

   <footertemplate>
      ... template definition here
   </footertemplate>

</asp:datalist>

An ITemplate interface that defines how the footer section of a DataList control is rendered.

The property is read/write with no default value.

The FooterTemplate describes the layout of elements to render once after all data-bound rows have been rendered. You can set the appearance for the item in this template using the FooterStyle property.

To specify a template for the footer section of a DataList, declare a <FooterTemplate> element between the opening and closing tags of the control. You can then list the contents of the template between the opening and closing <FooterTemplate> ... </FooterTemplate> tags.

NOTE: The FooterTemplate item cannot be data bound.

NOTE: The ShowFooter property must be set to true for this property to be visible.

The below snippet shows use of a FooterTemplate definition for a DataList control.

<asp:datalist id = "myList" repeatcolumns=2 runat = "server"
   footerstyle-forecolor = "darkgreen"
   footerstyle-font-size = "8pt"
   footerstyle-horizontalalign = "center">

   <itemtemplate>
      ... template definition for individual items here
   </itemtemplate>

   <footertemplate>
      <hr size=1 width=90%>
