I have a repeater I have bound to a custom collection of TicketLogEntries.  
If a TicketLogEntry is marked as private and the user is not an 
administrator, then the Item is hidden (code below).

The question is: if I set an item's or alteratingitem's Visible property to 
False, can I also hide the accompanying Separator?  It's a bit of a giveaway 
that records are invisible if the separator is still showing  :(


  Private Sub rptrLog_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As 
System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterItemEventArgs) Handles rptrLog.ItemDataBound
    If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Or e.Item.ItemType = 
ListItemType.AlternatingItem Then
      Dim bPrivate As Boolean = CType(e.Item.DataItem, 
TicketLogEntry).IsPrivate
      If bPrivate AndAlso HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole("Administrator") 
= False Then
        e.Item.Visible = False
      End If
    End If
  End Sub

Thanks,
Nick

Private hideSeparator As Boolean = False

Private Sub rptrLog_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterItemEventArgs) Handles
rptrLog.ItemDataBound
    If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Or e.Item.ItemType =
ListItemType.AlternatingItem Then
      Dim bPrivate As Boolean = CType(e.Item.DataItem,
TicketLogEntry).IsPrivate
      If bPrivate AndAlso
HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole("Administrator") = False Then
        e.Item.Visible = False
      End If
      hideSeparator = e.Item.Visible
    End If
    If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Separator And hideSeparator Then
      e.Item.Visible = False
    End If
 End Sub

Mykola,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.  One small change and it's 
working great!

your line: 

>       hideSeparator = e.Item.Visible


hid the separators for the visible items :)  Using:

      hideSeparator = (e.Item.Visible = False)

and everything is great.

Thanks again.
