Using an updatepanel inside repeater item

[Jesper Rou]

Hi all,

I have a peculiar problem in that I want to have an Ajax.Net update panel,
inside each item in a repeater.

Like so:

<repeater>
<itemtemplate>
<updatepanel>
<contenttemplate>
</contenttemplate>
</updatepanel>
</itemtemplate>
</repeater>

This works well enough, but a problem emerges when using DataBinding
expressions, like <%# DataBinder.Eval( Container.DataItem, "whatever" ) %>

The page fails with the somewhat logical error, that the updatepanel dosnt
contain a definition for DataItem.
I assume this is because the Container now points at the updatepanel.

Anyone have a workaround/fix for this?

I found the answer myself.

Using the <%# Eval( "field" ) %> shorthand solves the problem.
