Dynamically Inserting an ID to Each Row

[sling blade]

I am creating a table using a datalist and I want to add an ID to the
html tag <tr> of each row created (eg <tr id="1">). I have a JavaScript
function which will change the back color of each row based on its ID.

I have tried using the OnItemCreated event to add an ID to the row.
Here is the code I have tried.

Public Sub Item_Created(ByVal s As Object, ByVal e As
DataListItemEventArgs)

e.Item.ID = "1"

End Sub


This is not working; does anyone if this is possible, and if it is,
what I am doing wrong?

I asked too quickly as I found the answer in a book.

It turns out I need to build the table as a string in the code behind.
By doing this I can query the dataset to find the information I need
and I will use that info to create my tabel including the ID's. Then I
insert the string with the display.InnerHTML method.
