Hi All,

In my repeater control I have a <div> that is set to run at the server
with the intention that I can hide it based on certain criteria.

I'm able to do this OK but I'm not sure I have the most efficent
method. Heres what I have so far (simplified of course!). Does
anybody know a better way?????

In the aspx...

<asp:Repeater ID="rptTwoSpecials" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<div id="co2" runat="server">CO2/km - <%#
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"co2") %></div>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

An the code behind (Page_Load event)...

foreach (RepeaterItem rptTemp in rptTwoSpecials.Items)
{
((HtmlGenericControl)rptTemp.FindControl("co2")).Visible
= false;
}

Thanks guys!
 
Hi there Pete,

First, post all strictly ASP.NET questions to ASP.NET newsgroup. Second,
what you're doing is OK but if criteria are known during data binding process
you can also handle itemdatabound event:

protected void rptTwoSpecials_ItemDataBound(object sender,
RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
RepeaterItem item = e.Item;

if (item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item ||
item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
Control panel = item.FindControl("co2");
if (panel != null)
panel.Visible = criteriaAreMet;
}
}

it there your right :)
