problem databinding a dropdownlist within a repeater

hi there,

in ASP.NET 1.1 - debugging i can see that the dropdownlist item within the
repeater is being populated and i do "droplist1.data bind" but when the page
loads there is no data.

on top of page i declare "public DL as new DropDownList"

What i'm doing is the following: on the page load, i create a new istance of
"DL" and populate it with the data from database (1 db call), then when i
bind the repeater, as it goes through each ItemDataBound event, i do
"rptDropLis t = dl.

In debugging, it shoes dl.items.count= 12 and i can see the data, but the
repeater items just show up blank, and yes i have set the DataValueField and
DataTextField also.

any help appreciated,
Paul

I have a dropdownlist which lives inside of a repeater. The repeater accepts user input via textboxes and the aforementioned dropdownlist. The repeater accepts phone numbers and allows for an arbitrary number of empty rows to be added to it. So, if a user knew in advance that they wanted to add 3 phone numbers, they can type the nuber '3' in a textbox (outside the repeater) and click a button (also outside of a repeater), and 3 new empty ...

We have some javascript code that depends on the name of the dropdownlists to be the same as it parses them in an array, but within a repeater the webcontrols generate a uniqueid with ctl0: and some other junk prepended. Is there anyway we can prevent the dropdownlist from writing out its mangled name?

Hi, I have a repeater control. This control will render a number of textboxes on the page. Each textbox has its onblur event wired to a JScript function. Here's a sample: <asp:textbox onblur="blip(this,<%# Container.ItemIndex %>)" text="<%#Container.DataItem("Quantity")%>" /> The binding expression included within the JScript function is giving me

Hello and apologies in advance for the amount of code in this post. I've also sent this message to the Sharepoint group, but thought that ASP.NET developers may also be able to help, even though it's a Sharepoint WebPart. I'm trying to do something fairly simple, create a datagrid that displays where and when a person works and allows them to change some of the information via DropDownLists. When the user clicks to edit a row, three of...

Hello All, I have a Repeater which contains a Dynamic DropDownList within its itemtemplate. I know I have struggled with this before and I am pretty sure I had to save a bunch of crap manually to the viewstate, but does anyone know what would cause those DropDownList objects to clear out on postback. Is there a setting on the Repeater I am forgetting about? I tried tooling with EnableViewState but that did not work. The Repeater gets...
