Question

I want to evaluate the current DataItem being bound to a repeater and remove it from being added if my condition meets. I would have thought that setting e.Item.DataItem to Nothing would work, but it does not. Any ideas how to not add a DataItem to the repeater when a certain condition meets?

Protected Sub rpt_OnItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RepeaterItemEventArgs)
    If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Or e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Then
        If true Then
            'don't add the current item
            e.Item.DataItem = Nothing
        Else
            'add the current item
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Have you tried setting the Item’s visibility to False?

If true Then
  //don't add the current item
  e.Item.Visible = False
Else
  //add the current item
End If
