Itemdatabound event fires once for Datagrid header only and NOT for data rows

[bkasmai]

The itemdatabound event fires only once for a datagrid header only and
NOT for the rows. What am i doing wrong? I have used the code below to
confirm that indeed this is what is happening.

private void grdSelectionList_ItemDataBound(object sender,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
event_type = e.Item.ItemType.ToString()
}

I am stuck in the middle of a so far well progressed project. Anyone
there to help please?
