 Hello Antonio,
 
I don't completely understand your task, but I have created two examples. I hope it will be usefull.
 
Get all group names for current product in product list:
 
public class ProductTemplateExtender1 : ProductTemplateExtender
    {
        public override void ExtendTemplate(Dynamicweb.Templatev2.Template template)
        {
            GroupCollection groups = this.Product.Groups;
 
            List names = new List(groups.Count);
            foreach (Group g in groups)
            {
                names.Add(g.Name);
            }
 
            string namesStr = string.Join(",", names.ToArray());
 
            //todo: insert code here
        }
    }
 
Get all groups in product list:
 
public class ProductListTemplateExtender1 : ProductListTemplateExtender
    {
        public override void ExtendTemplate(Dynamicweb.Templatev2.Template template)
        {
            Dictionary allGroups = new Dictionary();
            foreach (Product product in this.ProductList)
            {
                foreach (Group g in product.Groups)
                {
                    if (!allGroups.ContainsKey(g.ID))
                    {
                        allGroups.Add(g.ID, g);
                    }
                }
            }
 
            //todo: insert your code here
        }
    }
