Hello

I have a repeater control displaying about 2000 records in a grid style

The problem is the viewstate that this creates is very large

But I need the itemcommand event to still work, as each row as a 'View details' link

Is there a way I can reduce the viewstate for the repeater, whilst still letting the Itemcommand event to work?

Many thanks

Hi

Yes they wanted to see the 2000 records all at once

I have turned off viewstate for this particular page and implemented a manual postback method

It works but is a bit more complicated than I wanted it to be

Thanks for the reply

You could try to disable the viewstate only on the rows in the ItemCreated event:

If e.Item.ItemType = ListItem.Type.Item or e.Item.ItemType = ListItem.Type.AlternatingItem then
   e.Item.EnableViewState = False
End if
