Auto Increment IDs in Transformations
Is it possible to auto increment an element's ID within a transformation?

I am using a javascript plugin and a transformation that sets up the HTML structure needed for the plugin. I am going to have multiple instances of the plugin on the same page and would like each instance of the repeater's item template to be wrapped in a UL with a unique ID.

Thanks

RE:Auto Increment IDs in Transformations
can you just use the id of the dataitem in the repeater?

<ul id="<%#Eval("NodeID")%>">


Also, unless you are not using ASCX transformations, you can just give your ul an ID and set it to run at server. That way .Net will go ahead and take care of producing unique client ids.

<ul id="MyUl" runat="server">
</ul>

Hi,

additionally, in case you would like to generate ul li structure you can use css list menu web part and check its property Render item ID. It will generate unique IDs automatically.

Best regards,
