Grid View for ASP.NET Web Forms - How to add numbers to grid rows

This example demonstrates how to add row numbers (display row visible indices) in a grid.

Implementation Details

1. Create an unbound column.

<dxwgv:GridViewDataTextColumn Caption="#" UnboundType="String" />

2. Handle the CustomColumnDisplayText event to assign row visible indices to cell values in the unbound column.

protected void ASPxGridView1_CustomColumnDisplayText(object sender, DevExpress.Web.ASPxGridViewColumnDisplayTextEventArgs e) {
    if (e.Column.Caption == "#") {
        e.DisplayText = e.VisibleRowIndex.ToString();
    }
}
