I have a UserControl inside a repeater. The repeater\'s datasource is from SQL Server.
User Control\'s .cs - MoviePanel.ascx.cs:
public int m
Your code is working fine; I tested it (see the bottom of the page). The worst case you can try assigning those value inside ItemDataBound event.
<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="Repeater1_ItemDataBound">
<ItemTemplate>
<uc1:MoviePanel runat="server" id="MovieDetailPanel1" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
public class Movie
{
public int MovieID { get; set; }
public string MovieName { get; set; }
public string MovieDescription { get; set; }
}
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
Repeater1.DataSource = new List<Movie>
{
new Movie {MovieID = 1, MovieName = "One", MovieDescription = "One hundred"},
new Movie {MovieID = 2, MovieName = "Two", MovieDescription = "Two hundreds"},
new Movie {MovieID= 3, MovieName = "Three", MovieDescription = "Three hundreds"},
};
Repeater1.DataBind();
}
}
protected void Repeater1_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item ||
e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
var movie = e.Item.DataItem as Movie;
var control = e.Item.FindControl("MovieDetailPanel1") as MoviePanel;
control.myMovieID = movie.MovieID;
control.myMovieDescription = movie.MovieDescription;
control.myMovieName = movie.MovieName;
}
}

here is one way, doing it all in the code behind. I can't say this is best practice, but it's clean. You use the ItemDataBind event, cast the item to what you want, datatable, whatever, then create a new instance of the user control and add it to the repeater's control collection
Page source
public partial class _Default : Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var myList = new List<string>() { "one", "two", "three" };
myRepeater.DataSource = myList;
myRepeater.DataBind();
}
public void R1_ItemDataBound(Object Sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
var items = (string)e.Item.DataItem;
var newcontrol = (WebUserControl1)Page.LoadControl("~/WebUserControl1.ascx");
newcontrol.myTest = items;
myRepeater.Controls.Add(newcontrol);
}
}
Page html
<asp:Repeater ID="myRepeater" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="R1_ItemDataBound">
<ItemTemplate>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
user control
<h1 id="myLabel" runat="server"></h1>
and
public partial class WebUserControl1 : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
public string myTest { get; set; }
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
myLabel.InnerText = myTest;
}
}
