Wayne Wengert I have an aspx page that includes a bound data repeater. In the ItemTemplate section I display each row from the datasource as a set of fields in a row in a table. e.g.: <tr> <td align="center"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.Group") %></td> <td align="center"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.Count") %></td> ..... </tr> I want to insert a special output row whenever the value of "DataItem.Group" changes. That extra row will span all columns and display the value of "DataItem.Group" . I tried inserting a row with the layout I want for that header row using the code below: <tr id=newclass bgcolor="#ffff66" height=0> <td height=0 colspan=8>New Class</td> </tr> I thought I could then catch the change in the DataItem.Group in the Item Databind Event and change the rowheight to something like 12 and fill in the correct text. It turns out that even though the height is set to 0 that row displays? Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

The row won't render to the client at all.

And they do have Visible. Don't forget to switch to design view to get visual studio make changes to the code-behind.

I added the runat="server", switched back to Design View and back to the HTML view but I don't see any change in the <tr> tag nor is there a "Visible" property. When you say that it changes to a HTMLTableRow, where does that appear? That segment of my code is as follows: <tr id="newclass" bgcolor="#ffff66" runat="server" height="0"> <td id="newclasscol" runat="server" colspan="8" align="center" height="0">New Class</td> </tr> Wayne "Eliyahu Goldin" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> wrote in message news:%23Z6n$Click here to reveal e-mail address...

You still can set runat="server" for the <table>. Let the table build itself with data binding and then, at the end, in PreRender event, loop through the table, find the rows you want to hide and set for them Visible=false. You can do it in either server script or code behind. Eliyahu "Wayne Wengert" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> wrote in message news:Click here to reveal e-mail address...

You can do this by maintaining a class member variable. 3) When the Group changes, then make the invisible row visible. Basically, you add an additional row to every row of the data source, but only show the additional row when the group changes. sayed "Wayne Wengert" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> wrote in message news:<Click here to reveal e-mail address>...
