Why is e.Item.DataItem null on ItemDataBound event when binding an asp:net Repeater to a Collection?
- by Clean
Hi,
I'm trying to bind a collection implementing the ICollection, IEnumerable and IList interface to an asp.net repeater. The Collection is named CustomCollection. So I'm setting the datasource of the repeater to the collection, as follows:
rptRepeater.DataSource = customCollection;
rptRepeater.Databind();
Then, on the ItemDataBound event, I'm trying to access the DataItem object, as follow:
void rptRepeater_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e){
object obj = e.Item.DataItem; // DataItem is null for some reason
}
For some reason the e.Item.DataItem object is null. Do anyone know why this is, and/or what I could do to get hold of the object in the collection that is to be databound to the repeater?
Thanx!
