Pass ItemTemplate From User Control Instance to ListView ItemTemplate in User Control

[Jeremy Zoerman]

I am trying to pass an ItemTemplate from an instance of a user control to a ListView ItemTemplate in a user control.

------------------- USER CONTROL .ASCX.CS -------------------
    [TemplateContainer(typeof(ItemTemplateContainer))]
    [PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty)]
    [TemplateInstance(TemplateInstance.Single)]
    public ITemplate ItemTemplate { get; set; }
    public class ItemTemplateContainer : Control, INamingContainer { }

    protected void Page_Init()
    {
        if (ItemTemplate != null)
        {
            ItemTemplateContainer container = new ItemTemplateContainer();
            ItemTemplate.InstantiateIn(container);
            //THIS IS WHERE I AM STUCK - HOW DO I ASSIGN THE TEMPLATE FROM .ASPX TO THE RADLISTVIEW HERE?
        }
        else
            //If no custom template specified load default
            RadListView1.ItemTemplate = Page.LoadTemplate("/someDefault/Standard.ascx");
    }

------------------- USER CONTROL INSTANCE .ASPX -------------------
<uc:MyControl ID="MyControl1" runat="server" >
    <ItemTemplate>
            ...unique template...
    </ItemTemplate>
</uc:MyControl>

Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

Can you specify if the LoadTemplate() method works? You can try using the Page.LoadControl() method instead.
However I would suggest that you add the desired user control declaratively in the RadListView ItemTemplate.
