I need a hidden field in an .NET Repeater control.

Question

The catch is this is a .NET 1.0 project and there is no hidden field control...

So this is out of the question:


<asp HiddenField Runat="server" ID="hdn" />

I vaguely remember some type of HtmlHiddenInput class that allowed similar functionality...does anybody know how to do this?

Thanks.

You can use a regular input or create a custom server control.

<input type="hidden" runat="server" />

You can use <input type="hidden" Name="HiddenControl" runat="server" /> and at code behind page use below code:

protected System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputHidden HiddenControl;

You can assign value to hidden control: HiddenControl.value="Your value";

Its overkill to instantiate a textbox when you can just add 'runat=''server'' to a regular hidden input field. – immutabl Sep 26 '11 at 13:14
