In the code behind I have a function that returns a List(Of SomeClass):

rptRepeater.DataSource = SomeFunction(SomeVariable) rptRepeater.DataBind()

In the html I have a basic repeater layout and am using the below code to get the Properties of each object returned.

<%#Databinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Parameter1")%>

My question is, would there ever be a case that it would execute the Function more than once?
