update binding in server-side tag

[davefromalbury]

i've got a <tr> in an asp.net 2.0 formview which i set runat="server"
so that in the code, i can set visible=false for that row if the user
isn't admin. In this row, i have a drop-down with two-way binding. for
some reason, this control isn't getting picked up in an update, ie
e.oldvalues["id"]=null. Any idea why?

cheers

Note, that controls with Visible=false don't get sent to the client. Can it
be the reason in your case?

hmmm i don't think so, it's always visible, as during the update, it's
still the same user. it only loses visibilty for non-admin.
