You can see also nice working example in the the example Corporate site provided by Kentico as well as you can find some additional information in the Web Parts Guide -> Repeater.

RE:Selected item transformation

Considering my problem another way what if I rewrote my transformation to this?

<li>
<%# GetImage("Homepage_banner_image") %>
<div class="content">
<%# if (Eval("Homepage_banner_image") != 'isitreliable-w585-h395.png'){ %>
<h1 class="banner-heading"><%# LimitLength(Eval("Homepage_title"), 40 , "...") %></h1>
<h2><%# LimitLength(Eval("Homepage_strapline"), 165 , "...") %></h2>

<h3><%# Eval("Homepage_main_text") %></h3>

<a href="<%# Eval("Homepage_link")%>" class="wp-banner">Find Out More</a>
<%#} else { %>
<h1 class="banner-heading"><%# LimitLength(Eval("Homepage_title"), 40 , "...") %></h1>
<h2><%# LimitLength(Eval("Homepage_strapline"), 165 , "...") %></h2>

<h3><%# Eval("Homepage_main_text") %></h3>

<a href="<%# Eval("Homepage_link")%>" class="wp-banner">Watch Video</a>
<%#}%>
</div>
</li>

RE:Selected item transformation

Hello William,

Selected item transformation is applied when you click on one of the items rendered in Repeater web part and then you are redirected to this item and on the page you can see the transformation being displayed. As my colleague Martin already suggested, you can see this behaviour on sample Corporate Site for instance (which you can create as a new site in Site Manager -> Sites -> New site wizard -> Use website template -> Corporate Site) in News section.

As for the transformation you sent in your previous e-mail, I do not know what elements you need to display but in general, you can modify built-in transformations as you like. Some useful methods you can use in the code of ASCX transformations are mentioned in Context Help - Methods in transformations.

Best regards,
Filip Ligac
