Repeater question

M.D.M.

Hi,

I display ads via repeater - name, address, text, anonymous (yes or no)
etc.. Repeater values are loaded from database. If ad is not anonymous I want
to display everything but if it is anonymous I need display completely other
structure - only text and before it header anonymous.

E.g.
Name1, Address1 // Not anonymous ad
Link to other ads from this person
Text1

This is anonymous ad // Anonymous ad
Text1a

Name2, Address2 // Not anonymous ad
Link to other ads from this person
Text2

Name3, Address3 // Not anonymous ad
Link to other ads from this person
Text3

Is it possible to make it in repeater ? Can I have 2 different templates to
use in repeater ?
(I can't display it using 2 different repeaters because they are sorted by
date)

Thank you

Hi Madar,

Welcome to ASPNET newsgroup.
As for the problem on dynamically using different template depend on the
datasource item's value in repeater control, based on my experience, the
buildin asp.net template databound controls (repeater, datalist....) don't
support this. If we really need to perform such work, we can achieve this
through creating our own custom Repeater template control and define the
databinding logic. In addition, I've also seen some community guys who
creating custom wrapper control to perform such works, here is a tech
article in code project:

#A Templated databound Repeater control with per-row template selection

In my opinion, I'd rather suggest you try creating a custom template
databound control and just choose template in your control's
CreateChildControls period. This will make things easier as the above
article means (but will have less reusability). For detailed reference on
creating custom template databound control, you can refer to the following
msdn reference;
