title: repeater control. find the table cell
body: <p>i had kept repeater control inside Update panel. The control is having 4 columns. based on the value i have to show \ hide the 3rd column. the columns were placed inside table <code>&lt;tr&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;td&gt;</code>.
   I can find the control of 3rd column and made it visible false. but the white space of the column remains. so i need to hide the <code>&lt;td&gt;</code> itself. But the <code>&lt;td&gt;</code> id is not recognized. please help me out. </p>
  
  <pre><code>  Dim td As TableCell
                  td = CType(e.Item.FindControl("tdcommwt"), TableCell)
                  td.Visible = False
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Note: <code>td = nothing</code> (it is shown.)</p>
