ASP.NET repeater control
Posted on 2012-03-28
I have a repeater control
<asp:Repeater ID="rptFiles" runat="server" onitemcommand="rptFiles_It
<HeaderTemplate>
<strong>Downloadable Files:</strong><br />
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lbDocs" runat="server"
Text="<%# ((Files)Container.DataItem
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
I want to know if it is possible to have a text and a value similar to a dropdown box? I need to display one value but actually capture another value on the click of the repeater.
Thanks

use a hidden field and bind another value to it
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lbDocs" runat="server"
Text="<%# ((Files)Container.DataItem
<asp:HiddenField Id="hdValue" runat="server" value="<%# ((Files)Container.DataItem
</ItemTemplate>
Now you can access this value from your code behind in repeater's itemcommand event if you have button in repeater as well....

I think BuggyCoder's solution would work fine, but I just thought of another possibility I thought I'd share. If you have knowledge beforehand (and you don't need this other value text on the page for any reason )on what the value combinations are going to be repeater-text and "other value" text, you can always setup a HashTable and store the OtherValue as the Value and the Repeater Text as the key.
So, set up the HashTable and then when the user clicks the repeater, grab that text and run it though the hashtable to get the value you want.
