How to display row number in MVC WebGrid

Question

I want to have a column as row number in MVC WebGrid. How can I do it?

Answer 1

That's a really nice approach, but when you use sorting or paging your RowNumber values won't start from 1 on the page.

In my project I had a case where I needed to know an index of the row independently of WebGrid's paging / sorting and I came across the following solution:

grid.Column(
    Header: "RowNumber",
    Format: item => item.WebGrid.Rows.IndexOf(item) + 1
)
