asp.net - ASP:Repeater not visible after databinding? -
i attempting create simple mobile view of website , list of product categories display on homepage... when try generate list of categories datatable kinda doesn't. nothing visible, if repeater took day off , went home.
here's code:
dim dt datatable = categories.getmaincategories(request("mainid")) rptcatbuttons.datasource = dt dim catname string = categories.getmaincategoryname(request("mainid")) 'dim catbutton button = ctype(rptcatbuttons.findcontrol("btncategories"), button) catbutton.text = catname rptcatbuttons.databind()
and asp:
<asp:content id="content1" contentplaceholderid="contentplaceholder1" runat="server"> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/count.js"></script> <asp:repeater id="rptcatbuttons" runat="server"> <itemtemplate> <div class="category-mobile" runat="server"><asp:button id="btncategories" runat="server" text="hello" class="category-mobile-button"></asp:button></div> </itemtemplate> </asp:repeater> </asp:content>
it's pretty basic code right now, because took code different page (where generate menu) , tried here, no go i've messed around bit.
i've tried binding table in pre_init , page_init sections neither made difference (except couple of neat null object references).
assistance please?
