helllo,

in the repeater control there is the <itemtemplate> tag which executes on
every iteration of the containing data.

is it possible to make the repeater do something every nth iteration (ie:
do something every 3rd item).

what i want to do is display a list of 30 items as checkboxes across 3
columns. not sure how to do this.

thanks
 
my problem is this:

i have a dataset and repeater control. i can manage to display the items in
1 column by doing something like:

<headertemplate>
<table>
</headertemplate>

<itemtemplate>
<tr>
<td>[item goes here]</td>
</tr>
</itemtemplate>

<footertemplate>
</table>
</footertemplate>

this will give the following look in the browser:

item1
item2
item3
....etc


BUT what i want to do though, is show all the items across 3 columns, ie:

item1 item2 item3
item4 item5 item6
item7 item8 item9

etc.


how can i do this? i want to try and avoid using the xsl transform method
because i want the items to be server controls (check boxes).

thanks a lot.
