I've got a repeater control that I want to do something different with the last row and the first row. The first row is easy because it is zero, so that is taken care of. However, the last row gives me some issues. I thought repeater.Items.Count would do it, but it does not seem to make when I compare the two values. I've tried using a function to fix this, but that doesn't seem to work either. For example. <%#getIndex(Container.ItemIndex)%> I've also tried using the itemBound event.

"what is the meaning of some thing different?" 

using this ,repeater1.items[repeater.items.count - 1] , we can recognize the last item in repeater.

but in javascript, it will not work. since the javascript will not recognize the repeater.

 repeater1.items[repeater.items.count - 1] will work with perfection. Dont complicate the issue unneccessary

Something different being not add the containers value for example

first row output zero since I know it is zero and output repeater count

0,7

the rest can be this

1,2

2,3

3,4

4,5

5,6

6, I need zero here <-- something different

I was using an inline IF (VB) on the ascx file

first row 

<%# iif(Container.ItemIndex = 0, Container.ItemIndex, 0>

each subsequent row(s)

<%# iif(Container.ItemIndex < repeater.Items.Count -1, Container.ItemIndex, Container.ItemIndex + 1)%>

last row (which is my main problem)

<%# iif(Container.ItemIndex = repeater.Items.Count -1, Container.ItemIndex, repeater.Items.Count -1)%>

This works fine when I add the number 6 

<%# iif(Container.ItemIndex = 6, Container.ItemIndex, repeater.Items.Count -1)%>

 Keep in mind my page outputs the value of repeater.Items.Count -1, which is 6 too.

Hi splitfire ,

see my sample,

    protected void Repeater1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < Repeater1.Items.Count; i++)
        {
            Label lbl1 = Repeater1.Items[i].FindControl("Label1") as Label;
            Label lbl2 = Repeater1.Items[i].FindControl("Label2") as Label;

            lbl1.Text = i.ToString();
            lbl2.Text = Convert.ToString (Repeater1.Items.Count - i);
        }
    }

       <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString2 %>"
            SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [country]"></asp:SqlDataSource>
        <asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" OnPreRender="Repeater1_PreRender">
        <ItemTemplate>
            <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label><asp:Label ID="Label2"
                runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
        </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:Repeater>

I'll give this a try and see what I come up with.
