OK and now with a Drop Down Listbox??

M. de Groot — Mon, 19 Jul 2004 14:39:00 GMT

Thanks for al the information. But I want to bind to a DropDownListbox. This seems to be very different, because a DropDownListbox doesn't have a DataItem to convert from...
Does anyone have a clue (in VB perhaps...)

Thank you!

Hi,
Like Hugo, I can't get the VB to work in my app:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Source Error:

Line 23: <ItemTemplate>
Line 24: <TR>
Line 25: <TD><%# (CType(Container.DataItem, System.Xml.XmlNode))("tab").InnerText %></TD>
Line 26: </TR>
Line 27: </ItemTemplate>

If I use CType(Container.DataItem, System.Xml.XmlNode)) the code compiles by my repeater is (understandably) empty.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Mark
