    Data Repeater - Dynamic template depending on data

    I have a repeater that I need to display one of three different templates,
    depending on a status bit in the data (e.g. if status = 0, display a basic
    template, 1 = with picture, 2 = with picture + extra text)

    Is this possible? If so, does anyone have a link to a good tutorial or
    example?

    Thanks in advance,

    Duncan

      Hi,

      Well you have two choises:
      1- Create 3 Repeaters and bind/show the needed one. This is the easiest
      solution just that you create two controls that you know for sure you will
      not use. Even so I believe this is the way to go.
      2- Create the ItemTemplate collection to build the control as needed, this
      is more error prone and you will need more code for it.


      cheers,

          Sorry - think I phrased that badly. One list could potentially contain all
          three different layouts, at any given location.

          Any other thoughts?

              Hi,

              It does not matter, the list is the datasource, the repeaters are just the
              way you will show it, are the repeaters the one that show it differently.

              I still think the idea of having 3 repeaters and showing only the one you
              want is the best option

              cheers,
