I have tried many different combinations to try to get this to work, but I cannot. In the ItemTemplate of a Repeater control, I have a <form> tag. For this third party button to work, each button needs to be surrounded by <form></form> tags. I cannot get the first iteration of the repeater to display the tag, but 2, 3 and beyond, it will. It doesn't make sense to me. Because of this, IE is displaying the page in a funky way.

In my application I have successfully pulled some rows from a database into a DataSet and then used an ASP.NET Repeater Control to create a div container for each row with each field contained within a span element as follows:
My problem is that I want the .png graphic link to have a onclick event so that a new div is dynamically inserted under the div to show data from a seperate database table. However since its all declared within the ItemTemplate then targeting the correct div using the JS DOM would be difficult/impossible as the id for each of the divs will be the same.
If this is going to be infeasible then what is the possibility of having data brought in from multiple tables would I have to manipulate the DataSet to include the extra columns as I think Repeater Controls can only have a single DataSet (corret me if i'm wrong).
I have a Repeater displaying some data that doesn't do what I'd like to see. If a certain condition is met (ex: parent.NumOfChildren > 0) I would like a hyperlink shown. Here is what I have so far:
In this case, the "View Children" link shows up for every item in my Repeater, but I'd like it shown only if parent.GetNumOfChildren() > 0. Would it be correct to try setting the Visible="true/false" property of the HyperLink? Is that the norm for this sort of problem? Or, is there a way to wrap the entire <asp:Hyperlink> ... </asp:Hyperlink> tag in an if statement that has a reference to the object that is currently being interated in the Repeater? Ie:
using a repeater to display multiple 'comments' related to a parent database entity (a 'task' in my case). When the user creates these comments they can optionally attach a file. Now, I'm working on the page that lists these comments and I'm not sure how to go about displaying the link to the attached file, if one is present. There may not be a file. The database record that contains the comment will also contain the url to the file if one was attached.
what are my options for this? I would like to just display a link to the file after the comment content, only if a file is available.
I have a repeater bound to a datasource that servers as a list of birds. When the user clicks an item in the list the bird's image is displayed on the page. I want to change the background color of the item that is currently selected in the OnClick handler for the main item in my repeater's ItemTemplate.
I have changed the styling of controls prgrammatically before and it worked fine but in those cases i used the ID of the control to directly access it in my code behind file. But since this is some arbitrary item in a repeater I don't know it's ID at runtime, all I have is the sender object passed to the control's OnClick handler. So in my code behind file, I tried casting the sender object passed to the OnClick handler to the appropriate type and used Style.Add("background-color", highlitColor) but it failed to change anything.
I had a thought - maybe this sender object gets passed by value so all I did was change the Style of a COPY of the control item.
If this is indeed my problem, how do I start with a casted sender object in an event handler and get a reference to the actual control in order to change it's Style?
I have a repeater control that is getting exported to excel. Well excel will no longer show the data that was in the textboxes. I've read the article on exporting a gridview having the same problem and how you replace the texboxes with literal contrls. I was wondering if there is an article like it only for a repeater control.
The following seems reasonable, but it returns an error:
<asp:Repeater ID="RepeaterF" runat="server" DataSourceID="DSF" > <ItemTemplate> <% If Eval("Item_Batch") = 0 Then %><tr><td></td><td colspan="2"></td><td></td></tr><% Else %>........
Error: "Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control."
I am finding it difficult to accept that the whole Repeater approach has any benefits over just creating a loop in code, iterating through a recordset, and building a html table into a variable, then dumping it to the page. This repeater is spawning pages of code and objects, and surely this is all using up server resources.
I have a repeater, and within it I have a button that shows up for each data entry. I would like it so that when I click the button, a certain action takes place, however this does not work. When I click the button nothing happens at all (the page just refreshes), however as soon as I move the button outside of the repeater, it then works.I used to get this error when when I pressed the button:
Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using <pages enableEventValidation="true"/> in configuration"
But I then disabled event validation...when I disabled it I didn't get the error anymore, but the button remained useless.
I have done the itemtemplate and edittemplate,when I click on the button in itemtemplate, the edittemplate will show.But that row in itemtemplate will disappear.How can I keep that row in itemtemplate and ecotent in edittemplate both appear?
I have a presentation to the CFO in two hours. I can't get a nested repeater control to work right, something to do with teh placement of the <table> tags I think.The first repeater first section works fine, then the child repeater shows the first child section right, but the next section of the parent repeater loses all the formatting applied at the parent table. I've tried vaious permutations of where to place the closing table tag of the outer and the inner and get different results, but never the right results.
when i am trying to use a repeater to display data in a wizard control, everything seems worked as expected before i change the value of wizard's DisplaySideBar, here is my demo code:Test.aspx:
[Code]....

guys who intrest on this you can copy this code and test it on your pc, when we click the link button in repeater's item will do nothing at the first time but it will work when we click it again.i have debug this and found that when the page is not in post back, the linkbutton's id will be "MainWizard_rpMain_ctl01 _lbEdit" in prerender method but after render it will change to "MainWizard_rpMain_ctl04 _lbEdit", but when page have been post back, the clientid will be correct as "MainWizard_rpMain_ctl01_lbEdit" and then event can be fired correctly.i thought this is a bug of .net framework, when i set the value of wizard's DisplaySideBar, it will ask to re-create controls but repeater haven't clean the item's count and then recreate item will use wrong item index, i hope this message can be post to .net framework team and they can find out what's the matter on it.
I am having big trouble with this issue, getting a message from IE that a script is being running for a long time and asking me to stop it myself.
The HTMLEditor seems to be uncomptible with this one.
I am also getting a very weak performance when adding this Ajax control.
I think this control is very heavy, but I'm not sure. If I am not wrong, this post I'm writing is inside the same control and I can see it takes time to load it in my page.
I'm currently using a certain ItemTemplate for three repeaters that are all on the same page, but they are all bound to different data sources. Is there any way to refactor my web form without using a user control to easily refer to this template so I will only have to define it once?
I have a user control which is used to display search results. The HTML for each result displayed will vary based on the type of result being displayed: "contacts" are displayed in one way, "news articles" are displayed in another, etc. There are around 10 different types of results that are all marked up differently when they get to HTML — so I need around 10 or so different templates for individual results that I can choose between based on the current item being displayed.
I'm using an asp:Repeater to display the results, but I don't know how to select the appropriate template within the asp:Repeater <ItemTemplate>. Ideally I'd like the ASP to select the appropriate template to use based upon the object type being passed in via the searchResultsRepeater.DataSource — but unfortunately I can't use switch on type (see this blog entry for C# switch on type). I can however just pass through an enum value for the type of result being displayed.
In the backend C# code I have an abstract inline SearchResult class, and children of that class like ContactSearchResult, NewsArticleSearchResult, etc. The searchResultsRepeater.DataSource would then be bound to a List<SearchResult>. Each SearchResult contains a ResultListingType type field which gives the type of the listing to be displayed.
Attempt 1: using control flow inside the ASP itself
"switch" and "if" both give "invalid expression term" inside the <%# ... %> brackets. "Container.DataItem" gives "the name "Container" does not exist in the current context" inside <% ... %> brackets.
Attempt 2: setting asp:PlaceHolder's to Visible = False
I found something that looked useful at how to change the ItemTemplate used in an asp:repeater?. I then tried something like:
Control newsResultListing = e.Item.FindControl("newsResultListing"); newsResultListing.Visible = false; Control contactResultListing = e.Item.FindControl("contactResultListing"); contactResultListing.Visible = false; switch (item.type) { case ResultListingType.CONTACT: contactResultListing.Visible = true; break; case ResultListingType.NEWS: newsResultListing.Visible = true; break; default: throw new Exception("Unknown result listing type"); }
Unfortunately this doesn't work because ASP seems to still be running the contents of the PlaceHolder even after I set Visible = false. I get the error "DataBinding: 'usercontrols_ResultsListing+ContactResultsListing' does not contain a property with the name 'newsHeadline'" — i.e. the newsResultListing PlaceHolder is still looking for the "newsHeadline" field, even though that field doesn't exist for the result listing type being displayed.
In fact I've tried a quick test throw new Exception("e"); in my ItemDataBound, and it looks like the "DataBinding" error is thrown even before control flow gets to the ItemDataBound method, so there's really nothing I can do in there to avoid this error.
I suppose I could add every single field to the parent class and leave most of them null in my children, but that seems really ugly.
Is there a way to make this work, or an easier way to vary my ItemTemplate based upon the type of Container.DataItem I'm currently iterating over? I'm very new to ASP so there's likely something simple that I've missed.
isn't present databound event on asp repeater server control?I just want to bind all my data, and at the end creates a new ItemTemplate and add it, but just when is all data binded
iam creating a mini ERP project.. in that i am creating menu type as tree structure... i am using the below coding to expand the tree structure while page loading...

the tree structures(nodes and sub nodes) calls from the database and it expand to the screen using above coding...
i have problem in it., each time when the page loads. the above coding runs about 170 time to expand the treeview to display in the screen.. i want to reduce this running cycle of this code.

I am building a class in which a GridView is created programmatically.I understand the need to fire the GridView_PageIndexChanging sub (no problems when coding the GridView declaratively).But when I build the GridView programmatically, I get the error:The GridView '' fired event PageIndexChanging which wasn't handled.How do I programmatically handle the PageIndexChanging event (code snippets in VB please)?
