Question

Is it possible to define multiple templates for a Repeater’s ItemTemplate and switch between them according to some condition?

I use a repeater to view a list of posts but want to have a different view for rows that belong to the current user (e.g. contains a LinkButton for deleting the post)

If this is not possible, then is it possible to use a Multiview control inside a Repeater’s ItemTemplate?

I tried to use a MultiView control inside the ItemTemplate and it worked very well, hope this helps someone with the same problem:

<asp:Repeater ID='Repeater1' runat='server' OnItemCommand='Repeater1_ItemCommand'>   <ItemTemplate>     <asp:MultiView ID='MultiView1' runat='server' ActiveViewIndex='<%# ((Post)Container.DataItem).Member.ID == CurrentMemberID ? 1 : 0 %>'>       <asp:View ID='View1' runat='server'><!-- some links --></asp:View>       <asp:View ID='View2' runat='server'><asp:LinkButton CommandName='DeletePost' CommandArgument='<%# ((Post)Container.DataItem).Id %>' ID='LinkButton1' runat='server'>Delete Post</asp:LinkButton></asp:View>     </asp:MultiView>   </ItemTemplate> </asp:Repeater>
