May occasions we need to give Serial numbers to our grid like 1,2,3,4,5, this I have tried my hand for a while and what I found.....
I have posted it in someones questions earlier. We can give alphabets also but its usage is limited so that part is omitted. (it is somewhat tedious also).
<asp:TemplateField>
<HeaderTemplate>
Serial No.</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblSRNO" runat="server"
Text='<%#Container.DataItemIndex+1 %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
This code works as same when we apply paging.
We cannot use this on BoundFields because they support only those objects who have Databinding event
