Label within repeater losing text on post back

[Kevin Cunningham]

I have a repeater with some labels in it (code below). For whatever reason
the text for the label is not persisted in viewstate on the postback. Is
there a trick to get this to work? Is there something else I can do to get
the same visual effect (not using a datagrid :) )? This is annnooying!

<table>
<asp:repeater id="rptGunReadi ngsNew" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate >
<tr>
<td>
<asp:Label id="lblGunReadi ngID" runat="server" Visible="False"
EnableViewState ="True" > <%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item,
"GunReading ID") %> </asp:Label>
</td>
<td>
<asp:Label id="lblDescript ion" runat="server"
CssClass="Large rMaroon" EnableViewState ="True"> <%#
DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "Descriptio n") %> </asp:Label>
</td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:repeater>
</table>

On the post back I am trying to do this ... and the text value is "".
foreach ( RepeaterItem item in rptGunReadingsN ew.Items ) {
object o1 = item.FindContro l( "lblGunReadingI D" );
object o2 = item.FindContro l( "lblDescription " );
}
Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,

Visible=False causes controls not to be sent to client. You can make
controls invisible with css rule display:none.

Gotcha, but still even when I turn it to visible it doesnt hold the .Text
value. Other controls work fine.

I thing it is because Label Text is not a part of the viewstate. You have to
rebind it every time.
