FormView/Repeater/ Eval(FormView data)

Hi;

I have (lots of tags not shown):
<asp:FormView ID="EditUser" runat="server" DataSourceID="UserData"
DataKeyNames="username">
works: <%# Eval("UserName") %>
<asp:Repeater ID="mapRows" runat="server" DataSourceID="RoleData">
fails: <%# Eval("UserName") %>
</asp:Repeater>
</asp:FormView>

How do I get at data bound to the outer FormView inside the Repeater?

Hello Dave,

Thanks for your posting.

From your description, you'd like to access the parent container's
databinding context(DataItem) in the nested databound control's databinding
code, correct?

Based on my understanding, it is not quite easy to do so since the
ItemDatabound of template databound control only contains the current
databinding context's info. What's the detailed scenario of your
databinding page, are you dealing with some master/detail or parent/child
table data? I think we may look for some other approach to workaround it?

Please feel free to post here.

Regards,

Hi;

Yes, that is exactly what I want. If it can't be done in the aspx I can
easily do it in the code behind.
