Container.DataItem.Row.GetChildRows Problem

[julesH]

Hi,

I have the following code in an aspx file that I cannot get to work:

<asp:repeater id=&quot;MessageRepeater&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot;>
. . .
<aspataList id=&quot;CommentList&quot; style=&quot;Z-INDEX: 112; LEFT: 14px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 520px&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot;
DataSource='<%# Container.DataItem.Row.GetChildRows(&quot;MsgComments&quot %>'>
</aspataList>
. . .
</asp:repeater>

The error I receive is:
CS0117: 'object' does not contain a definition for 'Row'

MsgComments is a relationship between two tables in my dataset that is connected to the repeater control.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, thanks in advance??

I usually just use the DataBinder.Eval method. Does this help?

I'm not sure if what you want to do works, but if it will, I assume that you'll need to cast Container.DataItem to something else.

Thanks BoulderBum, I use DataBinder.Eval else where in my code. This code needs to set the DataSource of the DataList.

What I want to do here is pull out the rows that are related in a second table in the DataSet, to the current row in the first table of the dataset. This table is referenced to the first (that is the DataSource of the DataRepeater), via a FK constraint.
