The best place to manipulate controls within repeater is using the ItemDataBound event: protected void Repeater1_ItemDataBound(object sender RepeaterItemEventArgs e) { if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item) { Label lblStatus = (Label)e.Item.FindControl(lbl_status); LinkButton lnkPay = (LinkButon)e.Item.FindControl(lnk_pay); if (lnkPay.Text.ToLower().Equals(pending)) { lnkPay.Visibile = false; } else { lnkPay.Visibile = true; } } }
