如何绑定Web用户控件的中继器

Question

I am really confused .Wasted 1 full day for it but still not able to fix .I made a (Repeater.ascx)web user control(having Repeater inside) and then drag it on aspx page(Info.aspx) like this.

   <uc1:Repeater runat="server" ID="Repeater" />

This is user control code.

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Repeater.ascx.cs" Inherits="DBG.Website.Billing.Repeater" %>
 <asp:Repeater ID="repeaterInvoicesPaid"    OnItemCommand="ClientNameClicked" runat="server">
               <HeaderTemplate>
            <table id="PaidInvoicesTable" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width: 100%; font-size: 11px; border-right-width: 0; border-bottom-width: 0;"
            class="dxgvControl grid dxgvTable">
                    <thead>
                        <tr>
                            <td style="width: 150px;" class="dxgvHeader">Invoice #
                            </td>
                            <td style="width: 150px;" class="dxgvHeader">Client Name
                            </td>
                            <td style="width: 150px;" class="dxgvHeader">Invoice Date
                            </td>
                            <td style="width: 150px;" class="dxgvHeader">Due Date
                            </td>
                            <td style="width: 150px;" class="dxgvHeader">Total
                            </td>
                            <td style="width: 150px;" class="dxgvHeader">Payment Method
                            </td>
                            <td style="width: 150px;" class="dxgvHeader">Status

                        </tr>
                    </thead>
              <tbody>
            </HeaderTemplate>

            <ItemTemplate>
                <tr class="dxgvDataRow">
                    <td class="dxgv">
                    <asp:Label ID="lblInvoiceID" Text='<%#Eval("InvoiceID")%>' runat="server" /> 
                    </td>
                    <td class="dxgv">

                    </td>

                    <td class="dxgv">

Answer 1

You can make a public method in your control and call it from the page.

In ASCX

public void BindRepeater()
{
    //.....
    repeaterInvoicesPaid.DataSource = datatableOrDataSet;
    repeaterInvoicesPaid.DataBind();
}

In ASPX

uc1.BindRepeater();

Answer 2

Typically for vanilla ASP.NET if you specify an ID and the runat="server" attribute you can access the control from the code of the aspx page. It's important to access post initialize where the controls get created - your best choice would be in the OnLoad event.

What you have to remember is when you set the datasource/itemssource, you have to call the .Bind() or .DataBind() method aftewards to do the actual binding.
