Re: Expand and collapse detail editing

Hi Brady,

If your editing requirements encompass complex logic that couldn't
easily avoid postbacks, I would recommend replacing the Repeater with
something else, like the DataList control. In fact, while the former
does not automatically persist any information about its children
collection structure, the latter does it, allowing for complex editing
scenarios where postbacks are required.
