Modal popup with Repeater control Issue

Question

User-1004789691 posted

So i have a panel with a repeater in it. The panel is the targetcontrolID and if i just put plain text in it( I.E. Testing 1 2 3) that shows up when i do MPE.show However the repeater does not. Any suggestions? The popup is "poping-up" when you click a link in a datagrid and that functionality is fine.

I have included my code below tto help you see the problem:

ASPX:

<Ajax:ModalPopupExtender ID="mpeOrderPopup" runat="server" DropShadow="true" TargetControlID="cmdDetail"
                    PopupControlID="OrderDetails" BackgroundCssClass="modalBackground" RepositionMode="None" Y="0" X="250" />
   <asp:Button ID="cmdDetail" runat="server" style="display:none;" />
                
   
        
                    <asp:Panel ID="OrderDetails" runat="server" Style=" width: 475px;"
                        CssClass="modalPopup">
                        Testing 1 2 3
                        <asp:Repeater ID="OrderItems" runat="server">
                            <HeaderTemplate>
                                
                            </HeaderTemplate>
                            <ItemTemplate>
                                <p>
                                    <asp:Label ID="lblLawsonNum" runat="server">Item #:</asp:Label>
                                    <asp:Label ID="lblLawson" runat="server" Text='<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Num")%>'></asp:Label>
                                </p>
                                <p>
                                    <asp:Label ID="lblQuanitiy" runat="server">Quantity Requested:</asp:Label>
                                    <asp:Label ID="lblQuantityRequested" runat="server" Text='<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Quantity")%>'></asp:Label>
                                </p>
                                <p>
                                    <asp:Label ID="lblDecription" runat="server">Item Description:</asp:Label>
                                    <asp:Label ID="lblItem" runat="server" Text='<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Description")%>'></asp:Label>
                                </p>
                            </ItemTemplate>
                            <SeparatorTemplate>
                                ------------------------------------------------------
                            </SeparatorTemplate>
                            <FooterTemplate>
                               
                            </FooterTemplate>
                        </asp:Repeater>
                    </asp:Panel>

Hello

Make sure your databind is returning any data. If it returns nothing, then the repeater will not shown up.

Does anyone have any ideas why this would be happening? I suspect it has something to do with the was a repeater is rendered at run time.

Hi Ucf_Falcon,

Actually, I cannot find any clue from your code because it works well locally. How did you bind the Repeater? Try to place the DataSource into the Panel and bind it from the beginning.

Here are my samples about using the GridView inside the Modal:
