Reference a Panel Inside a Repeater

[dekode]

Okay I'm trying to change the visible attribute of the panels inside this repeater - how do I reference this in my code behind?

 

Here's the repeater:

 

<asp:Repeater ID="rpMenuItems" Runat="server">

<ItemTemplate>

<tr>

<td width="109" bgcolor="#6f0039">

<a href="<%# Databinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Link") %>" class="link-leftmenu"><%# Databinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "MenuItem") %></a>

 

<asp:Panel ID="adminlink">

 

<a href="#" class="link-leftmenu" onclick="OpenAdmin('MenuEdit.aspx')">[+]</a>

 

</asp:Panel>

</td>

</tr>

</ItemTemplate>

</asp:Repeater>

Inside the repeater control, create a LinkButton control that

has the CommandArgument and CommandName attributes set

depending on the panel you want to show and hide.

Then, when this LinkButton is clicked, the ItemCommand event of

the Repeater control is fired. It's in this event handler that you can

change the visibility of the panel.

I just want to know how to hide all the panels at once. I want to shut the panels off before the user logs into the site, then turn them all back on when their login is successful.

 

How do I reference all the panels' visible attributes?

Reference each Items's panel during the ItemCreated or ItemDataBound event and set the Visible depending on login status.

Can someone post some syntax???

 

I understand the concepts, I just don't know 'how to do it'...

Dim blnLoggedIn As Boolean = False

 

Private Sub Repeater1_ItemCommand(ByVal s as Object, ByVal e As RepeaterItemEventArgs) Handles Repeater1.ItemCreated

Dim Panel As Panel

If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Or e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Then

Panel = e.Item.FindControl("pnlMyPanel")

If blnLoggedIn Then

Panel.Visible = True

Else

Panel.Visible = False

End If

 

End Sub
