Auto Generate Row Number in ASP.NET ListView

One of my blog readers Robert asked me a question. Is it possible to create a counter field or an auto-generated Row Number in an ASP.NET ListView.

The solution is to add <%# Container.DataItemIndex + 1 %> to the ItemTemplate of the ListView as shown below:

ListView Row Number

The output with the auto generated serial number/row number is as shown below:
