At Ch 13: page 463, step 10 - I see how to modify item templates.

Let me see if I understand this correctly.

Do I need to do this to any control where I want to set the text to a value that is generated by a function, let's say, in the code behind file?

For example - in the CreateDateTime field - if I wanted to add some conditional functionality that formats the date based on another field (just an example) - would I have to create this field as an item template as well?

Yes, probably, depending on the complexity of your logic. You may be able to do some stuff inline inside the item template in markup, rather than through code behind.

Cheers,

Imar
