The following example shows how to use the ListView control without defining a LayoutTemplate template in the control. A server control with a known ID is also not specified.

<asp:ListView ID="ListView1" runat="server">
  <ItemTemplate>
    <% Eval("LastName")%>
  </ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>

Remarks

Use the LayoutTemplate property to define a custom user interface (UI) for the root container of the ListView control.

To specify the layout template, add a LayoutTemplate element inside the ListView control. You can then add the contents of the template to the LayoutTemplate element.

The LayoutTemplate content must include a placeholder control such as a table row (tr) element for the items that are defined by the ItemTemplate template or for groups that are defined by the GroupTemplate template. The placeholder control must have the runat attribute set to "server" and the ID attribute set to the value of the ItemPlaceholderID or the GroupPlaceholderID property, depending on whether the ListView control is using groups.

The LayoutTemplate template is not required by the ListView control. You can use the ListView control without a LayoutTemplate and also without a placeholder server control with a known ID.
