System.Web.UI.WebControls Namespace   Repeater Class

---

Specifies the template to use for the header in a Repeater.

<asp:repeater ... >

   <headertemplate>
      ... template definition here
   </headertemplate>

</asp:repeater>

An ITemplate interface that defines how the header section of a Repeater control is rendered.

The property is read/write with no default value.

The HeaderTemplate describes the layout of elements to render once before any data-bound rows have been rendered. A typical use is to begin a container element, such as a <table>.

To specify a template for the heading section of a Repeater, place a <HeaderTemplate> element between the opening and closing tags of the control. You can then list the contents of the template between the opening and closing <HeaderTemplate> ... </HeaderTemplate> tags.

NOTE: The HeaderTemplate item cannot be data bound.

The below snippet shows a typical HeaderTemplate definition for a Repeater control.

<asp:repeater id = "myRepeater" runat = "server">

   <headertemplate>
      <table width=90% cellpadding=5>
      <tr style = "background-color:ivory">
         <th>Title</th>
         <th>Price</th></tr>
   </headertemplate>

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

   <footertemplate>
      </table>
   </footertemplate>

</asp:repeater>
