can't place label in datalist

[Andy Sutorius]

Hi,

Are datalists able to have labels inside of the ItemTemplate? Every time I
try to place a label in the Item Template it does not show up in the code
behind/intellisense. FYI the datalist contains items that can be placed in
shopping cart. I want the label to notify the user that the placement of the
item into the shopping was successful.

Thanks,

Andy

Hi
You can have pretty much any server controls in the itemtemplate.
Datalist items are created dynamically when the datalist is created, which
is why it's not added to the code behind.

You can use the onitemdatabound event to manipulate the server controls.
for example, you can use
Label mylbl = (Label)e.Item.FindControl("lbl_id");
mylbl.Text = "your text";
