if (ItemTemplate != null)
{ ItemTemplate.InstantiateIn(container); }
Controls.Add(container);
base.CreateChildControls();
}
}

*** this works fine; however, how do i use my ( the one below for example ) template?

public class myItemplate_1 : ITemplate
{

static int itemcount = 0;
ListItemType templateType;
public myItemplate_1(ListItemType type)
{
templateType = type;
}

public void InstantiateIn(System.Web.UI.Control container)
{
Literal lc = new Literal();
switch (templateType)
{
case ListItemType.Header:
lc.Text = "<TABLE border=1><TR><TH>Items</TH></TR>";
break;
case ListItemType.Item:
lc.Text = "<TR><TD>Item number: " + itemcount.ToString() +
"</TD></TR>";
break;
case ListItemType.AlternatingItem:
lc.Text = "<TR><TD bgcolor=lightblue>Item number: " +
itemcount.ToString() + "</TD></TR>";
break;
case ListItemType.Footer:
lc.Text = "</TABLE>";
break;
}
container.Controls.Add(lc);
itemcount += 1;
}
