Changing a control to another type - can it be done??

[Bob H]

Hi,

I've a LinkButton in a Repeater. I'd like to 'change' this to a label
depending upon the value in the item (which I've got through the ItemCreated
event). Can this been done at all (I'm working in vb)?

something like
ItemCreated event
- get eventarg
- if data from eventarg = 'A' then display in linkbutton
else
change linkbutton to label and display text

At the moment, I've a clunky method of having a label and Linkbutton side by
side and making the Linkbutton.visible = false depending upon the data.

Many thanks for any advice

Bob

A simple way to do this is to have two controls, one a link and one a lable,
then make the one you dont want invisible.
