I have a User
Control which is dynamically placed by CodeBehind as follows:
Dim myControl As
Control = CType(Page.LoadControl("~/Controls/mainMenu.ascx"), Control)
If InStr(Request.ServerVariables("url"), "/Login.aspx") <= 0 Then
mainMenu.Controls.Add(myControl)
End If
As per an example from my previous question on here.
Within this
Control is a repeater which calls a database to generate values.
My Repeater mark-up is as follows
<asp:Repeater runat="server" ID="locationRepeater" OnItemDataBound="getQuestionCount">
<ItemTemplate>
<p id='locationQuestions' title='<%# Container.DataItem %>' runat='server'></p>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
The example above works fine, but I want to be able to prepend text to <%# Container.DataItem %> in the title attribute of that <p to print to the browser like this is some text DATA_ITEM_OUTPUT
When I try to do that though, it prints this is some text <%# Container.DataItem %> exactly like that, ie, turning <%# Container.DataItem %> into text, NOT the value from the repeater code.
It was working fine before I made it into a dynamically inserted
control, so I am thinking I might have something being generated in the wrong order, but given that it works without any prepended text, I am stumped to fix it!
I'm new to .net and using vb.net, please could someone point me in the right direction?
