Repeater Control - Skipping Records

[rhungund]

Hi all...i'm using the repeater control to display some records.
The first record however needs to be displayed differently - it's shown
as a featured item.
The remainding records will be displayed in a repeating, templated
fashion.

I would like to, possibly in the ItemDataBound or ItemCreated event
handlers to check:

if first record then
populate variables and not display in the repeater
else
display in the repeater control
any ideas or suggestions? thanks.

The best event for you to use is PreRender, since in this event the repeater
is already fully built and you can easily navigate to the required record.
You can't delete the record, but you can try hiding it by setting css rule
"display:none".
