Hide DataList Items

[Chris Kettenbach]

Good Afternoon all,
I have a datalist. When I switch in to edit mode, I need to hide a couple
controls on the "ItemTemplate" and of course, when exiting Edit Mode, I will
need to show these items again. Any ideas? I have tried referencing the
controls and setting their visibile property to false, I tried in the
datalist item created and item databound events, but it can not find the
controls.Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Thanks for any suggestions,
Chris

I found a nice fix to this. I bound the visible property of the controls to
a function that evaluates if the datalist is in edit mode, if it is I return
false and hide the items. it works great!
