Determining whether the current item is the last one from inside ItemDataBoundI have a control that I want displayed in all items except the last one. I
figured the best way to do this was to determine whether the current item was the last from within the ItemDataBound event using code such as the following: If e.Item.ItemIndex=(numberofitems-1) Then mycontrol.Enabled=False but I cannot find a property that contains the total number of items before the ItemDataBound event is raised. Any ideas? Thanks. Nathan,
In almost all collection there is a count or a length telling what is the total number of the items The count-1 or lenght - 1 is than the index to the last.

following two: DataList.DataKeys.Count DataList.Items.Count The problem is that these collections are not completely filled until after the ItemDataBound event has been called however many times it gets called. To see this, add a line such as: Response.Write(DataList.DataKeys.Count) inside the ItemDataBound event handler, and you will see that the value is different each time it is called, which makes it almost useless inside this handler. I need a property or method that can tell me the number of items before the DataBind() method is called. I thought about using the DataTable that I use for the DataList.DataSource property, but that would require me to create a public or session variable, which is not the ideal way to do it, and it requires extra code. Any other ideas? Thanks.

I always use the datasource to get the total items. Be aware that you take the defaultview if you use that, which by instance in a sort becomes than dynamic.

used the PreRender event before, but I think that the fact that the condition is only true for one item, it is definitely more efficient. Thanks!
