Three ways to bind Repeater controls

Method 1
On the aspx page, write the content that needs to be output in a loop, including user-defined controls, server controls, Html fragments, and < %# Eval("Name")% > This way to dynamically display the list of acquired data:

<asp:Repeater ID="rpImage" runat="server">
    <ItemTemplate>    
        <li>
            <a href="//www.ofstack.com/lmfeng/archive/2012/03/06/<%# (Container.DataItem as ProductImage).ResourceUrl%>" class="<%# Container.ItemIndex == 0 ? "currImg " : "" %>">
                <img src="//www.ofstack.com/lmfeng/archive/2012/03/06/<%# (Container.DataItem as ProductImage).ResourceUrl%>"
                     class="<%# (Container.DataItem as ProductImage).ImageVersion)%>">
                <%# Eval("Name").ToString() %>
            </a>
        </li>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

In the cs file, the GetProductImageList method is used to get List < ProductImage > A list of data types bound to the Repeater control:
The above does not contain user-defined controls, server controls, so there is no need for ItemDataBound events to personalize individual data items

protected override void BindDataSource()
{
    this.rpImage.DataSource = GetProductImageList();
    this.rpImage.DataBind();
}

Way 2
On the aspx page, the user-defined control is included this time, so it is necessary to use the ItemDataBound event to assign personalized values to each user-defined control in the list. The user-defined control can have common methods or properties.

Let's assign values in the ItemDataBound event:

<asp:Repeater ID="gvItemList" runat="server" EnableViewState="false">
    <ItemTemplate>
         <li>
             <UCCommon:ImageCell ID="imageCell" runat="server" />
             <a href="//www.ofstack.com/lmfeng/archive/2012/03/06/###" title='<%# Eval("Name").ToString() %>' href='//www.ofstack.com/lmfeng/archive/2012/03/06/<%# Eval("Code").ToString()%>'>
                 <UCCommon:ProductFullNameCell ID="productFullNameCell" runat="server" />
             </a>
             <UCCommon:UCProductControlCell ID="productControlCell" runat="server"/> 
         </li>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

In the cs file, user-defined controls can have common methods or properties, let's assign values in the ItemDataBound event:

protected override void BindDataSource()
{
    this.gvItemList.DataSource = productList;
    this.gvItemList.DataBind();
}
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
    this.gvItemList.ItemDataBound += new RepeaterItemEventHandler(this.OnItemListDataBound);
    base.OnInit(e);
}
private void OnItemListDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
    ProductCellInfo productItem = (ProductCellInfo)e.Item.DataItem;
    if (productItem != null)
    {
       ProductFullNameCell productName;
       ImageCell image;
       ProductControlCell productControlCell;
       foreach (Control sub in e.Item.Controls)
       {
           productName = sub as ProductFullNameCell;
           if (productName != null)
           {
               productName.InitProductFullName(productItem.Title, productItem.PromotionTitle, DispalyContentLength);
               continue;
           }
           image = sub as ImageCell;
           if (image != null)
           {
               image.InitImageCell2(productItem.ID, productItem.Code, productItem.Name, productItem.ImageUrl, productItem.ImageVersion);

               continue;
           }
           productControlCell = sub as ProductControlCell;
           if (productControlCell != null)
           {
               productControlCell.InitProductControlCell(productItem);
               continue;
           }
       }
   }
}

Method 3:
On the aspx page, you can set the OnItemDataBound property without the dynamic binding in the OnInit method in the cs file as in mode 2. The code is as follows:

<asp:Repeater ID="rptListCell" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="RptAllOnItemDataBound">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <li>
           <a href='//www.ofstack.com/lmfeng/archive/2012/03/06/<%#Eval("ID"))>' title='<%#Encode(Eval("Name")) %>'>
                <span><%#Encode(Eval("Name")) %></span>
                <asp:PlaceHolder ID="pNew" runat="server" Visible="false"></asp:PlaceHolder>
                <asp:PlaceHolder ID="pHot" runat="server" Visible="false"></asp:PlaceHolder>
                <asp:Literal ID="literalValidGiftOption" runat="server"></asp:Literal>
        </a>
        </li>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

In cs file:

protected override void BindDataSource()
{
    base.BindDataSource();
    this.rptListCell.DataSource = this.List;
    this.rptListCell.DataBind();
}
protected void RptAllOnItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
    CategoryInfo category = (CategoryInfo)e.Item.DataItem;
    PlaceHolder pHot = e.Item.FindControl("pHot") as PlaceHolder;
    PlaceHolder pNew = e.Item.FindControl("pNew") as PlaceHolder;
    Literal lit = e.Item.FindControl("literalValidGiftOption") as Literal;
    switch (category.PromotionStatus)
    {
        case "H":
           pHot.Visible = true;
           break;
        case "N":
           pNew.Visible = true;
           break;
        default:
           break;
    }
    lit.Text = category.Name;
}
