Hi,
I have a Repeater control which is bound to a dataset. In the footer of the
repeater control, I have a Button whose visibility I want to vary according
to the sum of a column being > 0.
I have tried to set the button's visibility in Page_Load (after data
binding), but I get a NullReferenceEx ception stating that "Object reference
not set to an instance of an object".
I'm sure this has to do with when my repeater control and it's contained
controls are being rendered, I've tried putting the logic in several places
but I can't figure it out. Below is the code; thank you for any help.

Keith,
You'll find your answer in my asp.net databinding tutorial: http://openmymind.net/databinding/index.html#7.2
Basically, you want to hook into the OnItemDataBound event, and check for
e.Item.ItemType == ItemType.Footer
then you can do a
Button btn = (Button)e.Item. FindControl("bu ttonNext")
and toggle the visible there via btn.Visible = true/false;
Specifically with respect to doing it via the sum of a column being zero,
you'll need to figure that out when you get your dataset and store it in a
class field variable
private int sum = 0;
void page_load{
if (!page.ispostba ck){
DataSet ds = GetData();
sum = //figure out sum;
repater.DataSou rce = ds;
repeater.OnItem DataBound += ...
repeater.DataBi nd();
}
}
and then use the sum to toggle visibility.

I have an HTMLAnchor control on my aspx page. When it's not inside a
repeater, it works fine. When I put it inside a repeater control, the handler
never gets fired. I have a handler for the htmlAnchor's ServerClick event
(works when not inside a repeater), and a handler for the repeater's
ItemCommand event. My html and vb source code is shown below, but what I
think I need is a simple working example in vb.net. Can anyone help?...

I would like to use a user control as a template inside a repeater.
Some of the fields in the control should be hidden depending on whether
or not there is data. I'm still a ASP .Net newbie so the way I'm going
about doing this might be a little off. I'd appreciate some help.
Below is the code I have thus far but I'm not sure how to reference the
user control within the foreach loop.

I've got a button inside a Repeater control Item Template
I'm doing a SQL insert using a SqlDataSource Control based on the RepeaterName_ItemCommand event, since the button in the template isn't available on the code behind file for a click event.
After the SQL command has run, I'd like to post back to another page.
When I set the PostBackURL property, it posts back before the insert is performed.

I have a Button that uses the PostBackUrl property which is inside a
Repeater template. When I get to the Page that is being posted to (the one
specified in PostBackUrl), I am having trouble getting access to the Button
that was clicked, because I cannot use the PreviousPage.FindControl() method
since I do not know the id of the Button. What can I do to get access to a
Button that was inside a Repeater? Thanks.

I have a button inside a repeater which is supposed to open a popup when clicked. But when i click on the button my modalpopup does not open. The strange thing is on the code provided below if i replace the button with linkbutton every thing works fine and I have my popup dispalying. Is there a reason for the buttons to not function inside the repeater?
