If I comment-out line 7, the page displays, albeit with the inner repeater stuck on a particular recard (I want to programmatically set the inner repeater's select parameter with the outer repeater's OnItemDataBound...but I can't even set it to a static number because of this error)

Anyone have any idea? If you can solve this, you are clearly a bad-ass kung-fu master!

Thanks!
