怎样合并repeater中相同的行

在开发过程中，有时会在列表中合并掉相同的行，比如第一列的第一行和第二行相同，就将第一列的第一行和第二行合并掉，其余列保持原样，我们可以在

在repeater的preRender事件中：

for (int i = Rep.Items.Count - 1; i > 0; i--)
            {
                HtmlTableCell oCell_previous = Rep.Items[i - 1].FindControl("id") as HtmlTableCell;
                HtmlTableCell oCell = Rep.Items[i].FindControl("id") as HtmlTableCell;
               if (oCell_previous != null && oCell != null)
                {
                    oCell.RowSpan = (oCell.RowSpan == -1) ? 1 : oCell.RowSpan;
                    oCell_previous.RowSpan = (oCell_previous.RowSpan == -1) ? 1 : oCell_previous.RowSpan;

                   if (oCell.InnerText == oCell_previous.InnerText)
                    {
                        oCell.Visible = false;
                        oCell_previous.RowSpan += oCell.RowSpan;
                     }
                }
            }

其中 id为前台要合并<td></td>的id
