</LayoutTemplate>
<GroupTemplate>
<div>
<asp:Placeholder id="itemPlaceholder" runat="server" />

<ItemTemplate>

<asp:Literal ID="ltrtest" runat="server" Text='<%# eval("name") %>' ></asp:Literal>

<asp:GridView ID="grd1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="true" ></asp:GridView>

Hello,

When you are posting code into the forum, can you please remember to surround it in [code][/code] or [highlight][/highlight] tags? It makes it a lot easier to read. I have done this for you in your above post.

With regard to your question, I suspect that your Literal is getting "covered" by the GridView. If you check the view source for the rendered page, I suspect that it is there.

If you want a GridView within the ListView, I would suggest that you add the Literal to the ItemTemplate for the GridView.

i hide the literal but still problem not solve.
also if i replace listview with datalist then code run property with save gridview and literal..

Hello,

Are you able to provide a complete sample application that is showing the problem that you are seeing? If you can upload it here, I will take a look.

Thanks

hello,
i already pasted sample code in which if you comment gridview control then it run properly but if you uncomment gridview listview not group the item template..
also in above code u can replace the literal control with any other control like label, textbox.

Hey,

In order to "test" your code, I would need to mock up a DataSource, fill it with data, etc. To make helping you as easy as possible, it would be easier (for me at least) for you to provide a complete "non working" sample. Then at least we have a base that we can both work from in order to figure out what the issue is that you are having.

actually my code is distributed in different layer (BLL,DLL,etc).. so it take so much time to understand every aspect of real program.
so what i do ??

I wasn't asking for our entire application. Rather, a stripped down version, that just has a hard coded datasource, with a few items in it.

The reason that I am suggesting this, as I find that taking a step back from the big application, and just focusing on one particular aspect of it, really helps to figure out what is going on. That way, you aren't worried about what is going on in your BLL, or your DAL, you are just focusing on one thing, in this case the usage of the GridView. This type of application is what I would have to create in order to test out what it going on above. I could do that, but that would give no benefit to me, only you. Where as if you create it, you might actually find the solution yourself. If you don't, post the sample application as is, and I will take a look.

Make sense?
