Repeater Control not submitting properly

[Custom24]

Hi
I am missing something

On a web form I have a repeater control. I've set it up to be data bound to 2 columns from my data source, to a label and a text box respectively, and at run time under page load, I do the data binding.

There is a submit button, and when the user presses this, I want the new values of the text boxes to be passed to a procedure. The problem is that the original values are being passed, even though in the repeater 'HTML', viewstate is turned on.

A seperate text box on the form is behaving normally.

Anyone any ideas

Here is the HTML bit

<asp:Repeater id=&quot;repPartsUsed&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot;>
<ItemTemplate>
</ItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<li>
<asp:Label Runat=server text='<%#dr(&quot;Info&quot%>' EnableViewState=True>
</asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox Runat=server Text='<%#dr(&quot;Parts_Used&quot%>' EnableViewState=True>
</asp:TextBox>
</li>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

Here is the bit which binds it on page load


Dim cmdGetPartsUsed As New OleDbCommand()
cmdGetPartsUsed.Connection = Conn
cmdGetPartsUsed.CommandType = CommandType.Text
cmdGetPartsUsed.CommandText = &quot;Select * from v_parts_used_by_entry where entry_id = &quot; & Request.QueryString(&quot;EntryID&quot

'Stop
Conn.Open()
dr = cmdGetPartsUsed.ExecuteReader
repPartsUsed.DataSource = dr
repPartsUsed.DataBind()
dr.Close()
Conn.Close()

And here is the bit where I try to get the new values

Dim repItem As RepeaterItem
For Each repItem In repPartsUsed.Items
Dim thisLabel As Label
Dim thisTextBox As TextBox
thisLabel = CType(repItem.Controls(1), Label)
thisTextBox = CType(repItem.Controls(3), TextBox)
Debug.WriteLine(&quot;Part Id = &quot; & thisLabel.Text & vbTab & &quot;Quantity = &quot; & thisTextBox.Text)
Next
Debug.WriteLine(&quot;The test text box = &quot; & txtTest.Text)

The txtTest works correctly, but thisTextBox prints the old values

Thanks in advance
Mark

I am such a muppet. I forgot that the data bind should not be done in page_load when the form is not being posted back. The addition of

If not page.ispostback

solved the problem
Thanks anyway
