Reply Contact I have a repeating section (and sometimes 2 or 3 levels deep) and I just want to add a section control, so I can do a show/hide some controls based on a checkbox. The problem is that whenever I try to add one it forces me to try to bind it to something in my datasource. Any thoughts on how I can accomplish this? 03-18-2009 02:22 AM In reply to swathip Joined on 10-30-2007 India Posts 487 Re: Non-bound section in a repeating section.

It has nothing to do with any data... Is there no way to have a section that is just for presentation purposes? 03-18-2009 07:20 AM In reply to Hilary Stoupa Joined on 06-20-2008 Posts 13,297 Re: Non-bound section in a repeating section.

Of course, you can bind a section to one of the fields you are using for data instead of adding another field or group specifically for it.
