XML in Repeater HeaderTemplate

[tate]

Is there a way to add information from an XML file into the repeater control's HeaderTemplate? I have no problem displaying XML information in the ItemTemplate but I receive the following exception when I place data in the HeaderTemplate.

 

"Exception Details: System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

Parameter name: container"

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Code ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<asp:Repeater id="rpSeries" DataSourceID="XmlDataSource1" runat="server">

<HeaderTemplate>

<font size="+1"><strong>Current Sermon Series:

<br /><br />

<%#XPath("Title")%>

</strong></font>

</HeaderTemplate>

<ItemTemplate>

<div class="content">

<br /><br />

<Strong><%#XPath("Date")%> <%#XPath("Sermon")%>

<br />

</Strong>

<%#XPath("Scripture")%>

<br /><br />

<%#XPath("Text")%>

<br />

</div>

</ItemTemplate>

<FooterTemplate>

 

</FooterTemplate>

</asp:Repeater>

Header items don't have associated data items, so you'll need to either handle the ItemDataBound event and populate the value when you're working with a header item (e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Header) or you'll need to call a custom method on the page to populate the vaule.
