the question is really simple. Is there a way to access the current pointer/counter for an asp Repeater control.

I have a list with items and I would like one of the repeaters columns (it repeats and html table) to be something like ...

Item 1 | some info

Item 2 | some info

... and so on

1 and 2 being the counter.

To display the item number on the repeater you can use the Container.ItemIndex property.

<asp:repeater id="rptRepeater" runat="server">
    <itemtemplate>
        Item <%# Container.ItemIndex + 1 %>| <%# Eval("Column1") %>
    </itemtemplate>
    <separatortemplate>
        <br />
    </separatortemplate>
</asp:repeater>
