asp.net repeater control additional item

[Howard]

i have this repeater control
<asp:Repeater runat="server" ID="Repeater1">
<ItemTemplate>
<span><%# Eval("text")%></span>< br/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

it generates something like this

<span>text1</span>< br/>
<span>text2</span>< br/>
<span>text3</span>< br/> and so on

i would like to insert something right after the first repeat and outside of
the span tag
<span>text1</span>< br/>
<img src="" />
<span>text2</span>< br/>
<span>text3</span>< br/>

how would i go about doing that?

The easiest way is to add the addition to the item template and to hide it
for all items but the first in ItemDataBound or PreRender event.

How do I add a new itemteplate in c# code? I couldnt find it

Thanks.

No, you don't add another itemtemplate. I meant you could extent your
existing template:

<ItemTemplate>
<span><%# Eval("text")%></span>< br/>
<img src="" />
</ItemTemplate>

and control the img properties in the code.

example ? thanks

If you mark the image with runat=server, you can find it by id within an
repeater item with a FindControl call. Typecast it to HtmlImage and use its
properties.
