problem databinding a dropdownlist within a repeater

[Milsnips]

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.databind" 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
"rptDropList = 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
