.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / October 2007Can we inject rows in a repeater control?
OK, I am still trying to achieve something like what is shown in the following PNG image. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2066/1808692173_ea202973a3_o.png I thought about doing this with a plain Table server control, but the problem is that this control does not provide enough events for us to identify the row in which the button is clicked. See a discussion I initiated in the following thread: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet/browse_t hread/thread/5f829c6b82fd01e5/722b948a1e58d80d?hl=en#722b948a1e58d80d Now that the plain Table control does not seem to work, I am thinking of the repeater control. I know that the repeater control has an ItemCommand event, which will let us identify the row in which the button is clicked. But, is it possible to inject rows immediately below the row in which the Button Click event takes place? I haven't found anything about this question. Yes, but it is generally done on binding, which may not solve your issue properly. If you can go this route, rebind the control on row click and then use the row data binding event to create a second row when you bind. I have not completed this particular task, so it may turn out to be a royal pain. :-)  SignatureGregory A.

Well, there are two data sources: one for the export total and import total per year (what's shown before expanding), the other for the breakdown of a particular year (the expanded part), as shown in the image. Will the row data binding event know where I want to insert the newly created row? To the question, it is not automagic. You will have to pull the rows out with code to display the related data. The binding event will just allow you to examine each row bound until you get to the selected row and you will have to add the information. If the data is related, you can look at some of the examples people have done with hierarchical data controls. I believe Dino Esposito wrote one for MSDN magazine. Will have to check. This sounds like it might be more up your alley based on what you are doing. NOTE: You may also find the DataSource controls a bit unwieldy as you step outside of this box. They encapsulate a bit too much functionality when you start getting creative. SignatureGregory A.

Yes, I am aware that the [+] ImageButton can have a command argument, which I actually tried, but what do we assign to the CommandArgument property? Is there anyway to assign the row index to it? I know that the row index can be captured this way for a GridView. i assumed you'd set the command arg to the index, and assign the same handler to all the buttons. -- bruce (sqlwork.com) >> the table has enough events. the [+] can be a submit button with a >> command arg. you are going to need to track the state of the buttons on [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > CommandArgument property?

In a GridView, we say Container.DataItemIndex. But what is it for a Table server control?
