Hi Geoff, There must be something different about the Repeaters that bind fine and the one that doesn't, swap them around to see if they still bound fine.
Is the data you expecting to bind to really the data that repeater get binded to? Maybe the data source really has no items, I say First Programmer Debug Thyself! If you think it is view state related then remove the view state from the page and see if that changes anything. Arjang On 13 May 2010 08:44, Geoff Appleby <[email protected]> wrote: > > Argh.
