Remarks

The separator enables you to put an element that has custom content between each group. The ListView control then alternately renders the GroupTemplate content and the GroupSeparatorTemplate content. The GroupTemplate content is always rendered last.

Make sure that you define the content for the whole row in the GroupSeparatorTemplate template, because the ListView control renders the GroupSeparatorTemplate content inside the LayoutTemplate template. For example, the groups in the ListView control might be created by using a table row (tr) element. If the GroupItemCount property is set to 3, the colspan attribute must be set to 3 in the GroupSeparatorTemplate template.

To specify a template declaratively for the separator, add a GroupSeparatorTemplate element inside the ListView control. You can then add the contents of the template to the GroupSeparatorTemplate element.
