Re: ItemDataBound not Firing on Repeater

Hi Brady,

Your issue is basically due to the fact that you are wiring up the
ItemDataBound event of the inner repeater AFTER it has been data bound.
The Load event for controls hosted inside a given Page instance are
fired AFTER the Load event has been fired for the aforementioned Page
instance. So, since you are data binding the control inside the Load
event for the page, it will be data bound before the Load event for the
control is fired.
To solve this one, just move the event wire up code in an event handler
wich would take place before the Load event. For example, the Init event
would be ok; here's some code:

    protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnInit(e);

        // Events wire up

        rptPageButtons.ItemDataBound += new
RepeaterItemEventHandler(rptPageButtons_ItemDataBound);
    }

Hope this helps.
