Display DataGrid's RowNumber in Bound column?

[D. Shane Fowlkes]

I have a DataGrid which is populated by a DataBind command and is bound to a
DataSet. It displays nicely on the page and all is well. Is it even
possible to have one of the "columns" filled with the row number of the
actual content from a field??

In other words...something to the effect of:
<asp:BoundColumn HeaderText="Record Number" DataField="<%#
MyDataSet("Budgets").Rows.Index %>"/>
<asp:BoundColumn...real fields....... />

It would be nice if I could display incrementing row numbers in my datagrid.

Thanks!

In C#.

Add a template column to your datagrid
<ASP:TemplateColumn><ItemTemplate><ASP:Label ID="lblRowCount" Runat="server"></ASP:Label></ItemTemplate></ASP:TemplateColumn

Then wire the ItemDataBound event of your datagrid
private void DataGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e

Label lbl = (Label) e.Item.FindControl("lblRowCount")
if(lbl == null) return
lbl.Text = Convert.ToString(e.Item.ItemIndex + 1)
