How do i perform a databind on a web user control within a repeate

How do i perform a databind on a web user control within a repeater or rather
how can I access the datasource that is already bound? I have a web user
control that displays a table of values (the profile of a piece of equipment)
from SQLServer. I've used a repeater on the webform since a query (i.e. by
address) against the DB may return multiple machine profiles and I want to
use the repeater to display as many machine profiles as are returned by the
DB.

for each field in on the web user control I've tried using something like
the following to access each field value:

DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "Name")
(where FIELD_NAME is the name of the column I'd like to reference.)

This method will work if I place the repeater in the web user control (and
make it public or create a property for the datasource) rather than the
webform but what I'd like to do is to create the repeater control on my
webform and then include the webusercontrol inside the repeater's item
template. However, when I do this the above method for refering to the field
value no longer works. I get error messages saying that container is not a
member of web.ui.controls . I found a semi-relavent posting which suggested I
use:

DataBinder.Eval (Container, "DataItem.FIELD _NAME")

However this does not work either. How can this be achieved?

Hi, I have a repeater nested within a repeater. After databinding the outer repeater, I loop through the items and databind the inner repeaters, also setting the inner repeater's ItemCommand event handler at the same time. I have disabled viewstate for performance reasons. Now, say the user clicks a control on one of the inner repeaters which causes a postback. I need to databind in the page_Load() because otherwise

I was going through an article on datagrid control in ASP.NET and found the use of databind a bit confusing. So the default behavior in a editable datagrid row is to show a Update and a Cancel Button when a user wants to edit the datagrid. What I found confusing was the use of databinding when this cancel button is pressed. When we are pressing the Cancel button we are not changing the datasource...then why do we need to re-bind the web...

This is killing me, I've been trying to figure this out for 2 days. When I click on the linkbutton, it executes the GetData(int) method to set the DataSource. The FAILURE is when it tries to call databind (sender.DataBind(); in NeedList_ItemCommand method). The error message is at the bottom of this message (System.NullReferenceException) Can anyone else see anything wrong with this? (I've included all relevant code, stored...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
