Question

Event registered in aspx

<asp:Repeater ID="StepRepeater" OnItemDataBound="StepRepeater_ItemDataBound1" runat="server">

Tried with AutoEventWireUp true & false

Here’s the method in the code behind:

    public void LoadSteps(Request request)
    {
        Repeater StepRepeater = new Repeater();

        StepRepeater.DataSource = request.Steps;
        StepRepeater.DataBind();
    }
    protected void StepRepeater_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
    {
}

When stepping through, it just goes straight through “StepRepeater.DataBind();” without hitting the ItemDataBound event.

Please let me know if any additional information would help.

Answer 1

Your OnItemDataBound value doesn’t match your method name.

OnItemDataBound="StepRepeater_ItemDataBound1"

protected void StepRepeater_ItemDataBound

Remove 1 from the end of OnItemDataBound or change your method name.

Also as @Adil has stated, remove the new Repeater() line:

Repeater StepRepeater = new Repeater();

UPDATE: After reading your comment on another answer regarding adding the new Repeater() line to prevent a null reference error:

Adding new Repeater() is going to create a new instance of a Repeater control, therefore not referencing the Repeater on your ASPX markup file.

If you are receiving a null reference exception, you should check that your Inherits property in your @Page directive (usually the very top line of your ASPX file) matches the class in your .aspx.cs file, and that your CodeFile property matches your .aspx.cs filename.
