Remarks

The TemplateField class is used by data-bound controls (such as GridView and DetailsView) to display custom content for each record displayed. When you need to display content in a data-bound control that is not provided by one of the predefined data control fields (such as BoundField), use the TemplateField class to create your custom user interface (UI). The TemplateField object is displayed differently depending on the data-bound control in which it is used. For example, the GridView control displays a TemplateField object as a column, and the DetailsView control displays it as a row.

You can define a custom template for the different parts of the TemplateField object using the templates listed in the following table.

Template	Description
AlternatingItemTemplate	Specifies the content to display for the alternating items in a TemplateField object.
EditItemTemplate	Specifies the content to display for an item in edit mode in a TemplateField object.
FooterTemplate	Specifies the content to display for the footer section of a TemplateField object.
HeaderTemplate	Specifies the content to display for the header section of a TemplateField object.
InsertItemTemplate	Specifies the content to display for an item in insert mode in a TemplateField object. This template is supported only by the DetailsView control.
ItemTemplate	Specifies the content to display for the items in a TemplateField object.

You can hide a TemplateField object in a data-bound control by setting the Visible property to false.

As an alternative to defining a custom HeaderTemplate or FooterTemplate template, you can customize the header and footer sections of a TemplateField object by setting other properties of the TemplateField object. To display a caption in the header or footer sections, set the HeaderText or the FooterText property, respectively. Instead of displaying text in the header section, you can display an image by setting the HeaderImageUrl property. The header section can be hidden in the TemplateField object by setting the ShowHeader property to false.

Note

Some data-bound controls (such as the GridView control) can show or hide only the entire header section of the control. These data-bound controls do not support the ShowHeader property for an individual bound field. To show or hide the entire header section of a data-bound control, use the control's ShowHeader property (if available).

You also can customize the appearance of the TemplateField object (font color, background color, and so on) by setting the style properties for the different parts of the field. The following table lists the different style properties.

Style property	Description
ControlStyle	The style settings for the child Web server controls of the TemplateField object.
FooterStyle	The style settings for the footer section of the TemplateField object.
HeaderStyle	The style settings for the header section of the TemplateField object.
ItemStyle	The style settings for the data items in the TemplateField object.

Constructors

TemplateField()

Initializes a new instance of the TemplateField class.

Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
ExtractValuesFromCell(IOrderedDictionary, DataControlFieldCell, DataControlRowState, Boolean)	Extracts the value of the data control fields as specified by one or more two-way binding statements (`DataBind`) from the current table cell and adds the values to the specified IOrderedDictionary collection.
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
Initialize(Boolean, Control)	Performs basic instance initialization for a data control field. (Inherited from DataControlField)
InitializeCell(DataControlFieldCell, DataControlCellType, DataControlRowState, Int32)	Adds text or controls to a cell's controls collection.
LoadViewState(Object)	Restores the data source view's previously saved view state. (Inherited from DataControlField)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
OnFieldChanged()	Raises the `FieldChanged` event. (Inherited from DataControlField)
SaveViewState()	Saves the changes made to the DataControlField view state since the time the page was posted back to the server. (Inherited from DataControlField)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents this DataControlField object. (Inherited from DataControlField)
TrackViewState()	Causes the DataControlField object to track changes to its view state so they can be stored in the control's ViewState property and persisted across requests for the same page. (Inherited from DataControlField)
ValidateSupportsCallback()	Determines whether the controls contained in a TemplateField object support page callbacks.

Explicit Interface Implementations
