转发器内部的ASP：NET Binding下拉列表

Question

What i want to do is binding and dropdown list inside of the repeater but I didn't make it. I'am getting following error at the marked line: System.NullReferenceException. Any help would be appriciated.

Back-end:

    protected void shoeRepeater_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
    {
        FixbayDBDataContext db = new FixbayDBDataContext();
        var colors = from c in db.ColorTbls select new { ColorID = c.ColorID, ColorName = c.ColorName, };

        DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("colorList1");
        ddl.DataSource = colors; //ERROR LINE
        ddl.DataTextField = "ColorName";
        ddl.DataValueField = "ColorName";
    }

Front-End:

<ajaxToolkit:TabPanel ID="TabPanel5" runat="server">
                <HeaderTemplate>Show Shoes</HeaderTemplate>
                <ContentTemplate runat="server">                                                               
                    <asp:Repeater ID="shoeRepeater" OnItemCreated="shoeRepeater_ItemDataBound" runat="server">
                        <HeaderTemplate></HeaderTemplate>

Answer 1

You have subscribed to the wrong event:

OnItemCreated="shoeRepeater_ItemDataBound"

This should be

OnItemDataBound="shoeRepeater_ItemDataBound"

Answer 2

Here is the solution

    protected void shoeRepeater_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
    {
        FixbayDBDataContext db = new FixbayDBDataContext();
        var colors = from c in db.ColorTbls select new { ColorID = c.ColorID, ColorName = c.ColorName, };

        if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
        {
            DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("colorList1");
            ddl.DataSource = colors;//Or any other datasource.
            ddl.DataTextField = "ColorName";
            ddl.DataValueField = "ColorName";
            ddl.DataBind();
        }
    }
