<?xml version="1.0"?>

I want to output this to an asp.net page using repeaters but I can't seem to get it working.

I have this in my aspx file:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<asp:repeater id="rptCategory" runat="server">
<itemtemplate>
<tr>
<td><b><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "categoryName") %></b></td>
</tr>
<asp:Repeater ID="rptSubCategory" Runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "subCategoryName")%></td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
</itemtemplate>
</asp:repeater>
</table>

This is in my code behind:

public class xmlut : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected Repeater rptCategory;
protected Repeater rptSubCategory;

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.ReadXml(MapPath("textfile1.xml"));

rptCategory.DataSource = ds;
rptCategory.DataBind();
}

private void rptCategory_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
RepeaterItem item = e.Item;
if( (item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item) ||
(item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem) )
{
rptSubCategory = (Repeater) item.FindControl("rptSubCategory");
DataRowView drv = (DataRowView)item.DataItem;
rptSubCategory.DataSource = drv.CreateChildView("category_subCategory");
//rptSubCategory.DataSource = drv;
rptSubCategory.DataBind();
}
}

It seems like I don't get a relationship working. I've stepped through the code and the dataset automatically sets up the relationship when getting a xml file.

Any help? I'm going crazy!

 
Forgot to put OnItemDataBound="rptCategory_ItemDataBound" so the event was never triggered!
