Reusing ItemTemplates

My Web application displays some data-driven tables using ItemTemplates.

The tables are on different pages and will be bound to different SQL
statements. However, I want table items to appear exactly the same in all
tables.

Is there anyway to create an ItemTemplate and then reuse that in different
tables on different pages?

Thanks.

Yes. You can create your template in a .ascx file like this:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" Inherits="myItemTemplate"
%>

<div class="ListGridCommandItem">
<div style="float: left; margin-right: 20px">
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnbAddRecord" runat="server"
CommandName="InitInsert">
<img alt="" runat="server"
src="~/Images/GridEditing/AddRecord.gif"/>
Add new
</asp:LinkButton>
</div>
<div style="float: left; width: 100%; margin-left: -100%">
&nbsp;
</div>
<div style="float: right; margin-left: 20px;">
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnbRefreshRecords" runat="server"
CommandName="RebindGrid">
<img alt="" runat="server"
src="~/Images/GridEditing/Refresh.gif"/>
Refresh
</asp:LinkButton>
</div>
<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;">
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnbExportToWord" runat="server"
CommandName="ExportWord">
<img alt="" runat="server" src="~/Images/GridEditing/Word.jpg"/>
Export to Word
</asp:LinkButton>
</div>
<div style="float: right;">
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnbExportToExcel" runat="server"
CommandName="ExportExcel">
<img alt="" runat="server"
src="~/Images/GridEditing/Excel.jpg"/>
Export to Excel
</asp:LinkButton>
</div>
</div>


And use it like this:

myListView.ItemTemplate = LoadTemplate("myItemTemplate.ascx");

Thanks. May I ask what "myItemTemplate" refer to here (in the inherits
property for the control)?

That's the name of the class in code-behind. I don't think you need to worry
about it in a template. It is there because you start it as a user control.
