Reset Function variable after Repeater control is finished

[sck10]

Hello,

I have 3 repeater controls referencing the same function below. What it is
doing is testing to see if the first column repeats itself and if so, add a
line with the managers name. The problem I have is how to reset
"strBlankRow" after each repeater control is finished.

Thanks, sck10



<asp:Literal id="ltrNewLine" text='<%# BlankRow(Eval("FinalApprovalHandle"))
%>' runat="server"></asp:Literal>


Function BlankRow(ByVal strRepeaterValue As String) As String
If strBlankRow <> strRepeaterValue Then
strBlankRow = strRepeaterValue
strReturn = "<tr><td class=BlueB height=25px width=95% colspan=9
valign=bottom><br />" & _
strRepeaterValue & "</td></tr>"
Return strReturn
Else
strBlankRow = strRepeaterValue
Return Nothing
End If

End Function

Hi sck10,

Repeater has an event named ItemDataBound, which is fired whenever an item
is bound to the data. You can reset the field "strBlankRow" in this event.

This is what I think should work for your first statement "what it is doing
is testing to see if the first column repeats itself". However, according
to your second statement "how to reset after each repeater control is
finished", I think you need to reset the field in Repeater's another event
"DataBinding".

Hope this helps. Please feel free to post here if anything is unclear.
