I have a problem which is not really Umbraco-related but hopefully I casn get some help anyhow :).

I have a dropdownlist control that I use to populate a repeater. I managed to get it to work just fine but i must have changed the code somehow because not its not working.

I want to get the Value from the dropdownlist and the Text.

My Repeater looks like this:

 
<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server">
 
<HeaderTemplate>
 
<table class="grid">
 
<thead>
 
</thead>
 
<tbody>
 
</HeaderTemplate>
 
<ItemTemplate>
 
<tr id='<%# Container.DataItem, "Value" %>'>
 
<td>
 
<asp:Label Text='<%# Container.DataItem %>' runat="server"></asp:Label>
 
</td>
 
</tr>
 
</ItemTemplate>
 
<FooterTemplate>
 
</tbody> </table>
 
</FooterTemplate>
 
</asp:Repeater>

And my code for populating it:

 
DropDownList dl = new DropDownList(); 
 
 
foreach (string NodeID in nodearr)
{
 
var theNode = new Node(Convert.ToInt32(NodeID));
 
ListItem li = new ListItem();
li.Value = theNode.Id.ToString();
li.Text = theNode.Name;
dl.Items.Add(li);
} 
 
Repeater1.DataSource = dl.Items;
Repeater1.DataBind();

The problem is in the repeater when i try to get the Value.

<
 
tr id='<%# Container.DataItem, "Value" %>'>

I thought that this way to get the value was ok but it seems that this is not working.

What am I doing wrong?
