Repeater

[eramgarden]

I have a Repeater with checkbox and a textbox. All is fine, databinds, i can click the checkbox etc..

 

I want to add a dropdowlist . I found an exmaple on 4guys about adding a dropdownlist to DataGrid and that works fine in a datagrid. I used the same example in Repeater but I get an error when code tries to bind to Repeater.

 

This is what I have:

<asp:repeater id="rpAct" runat="server">

<HeaderTemplate>

...

</HeaderTemplate>

<ItemTemplate>

...

<td><asp:DropDownList id="ddlActTypes" DataValueField="code_id" DataTextField="code_desc" DataSource="<%# GetActList() %>" SelectedIndex='<%# GetSelActIndex(Container.DataItem("code_id")) %>' Visible="true" runat="server">

</asp:DropDownList>

</td>

...

I have a routine to for GetActList and GetSelActIndex. Those work too But the Error happens when I Bind:

 

rpAct.Databind()

 

with this error

'System.Data.DataRowView' does not contain a property with the name code_desc

 

I'm open to suggestions if there's another way of doing this

Does your datasource contain a column called code_desc?

Yes, it does.

 

I cant find exmple of Repeater and dropdownlist.I'm sure it's doable..
