Using helper class methods to bind repeaters

Associating Email Address

Your code is quite correct, and should not fail because it is referencing a method in another class. Can you include a more complete code sample, as I cannot see anything wrong with the provided one :)

The only thing that might throw up a problem with that is how the BindingTools class is created. If it is local to a private method - it might be out of scope when the ItemDataBound method is called.

Does the BindingTools class have to be created for the BT.rptRepeater_ItemDataBound method to work? You could declare the method as static and change the code adding the event to:

rptRepeater.ItemDataBound += new RepeaterItemEventHandler(BindingTools.rptRepeater_ItemDataBound);

I don't think it is private to a method, I have attached all in the code snippet.

Please note that in the real code that I have now posted, BindingTools becomes BannerTools

Ah I understand, sorry, let me try that and get back to you

Unfortunately not. That still doesn't fire on a static method :(

Have you tried binding the event up in the markup?

Can't do that because the event is fired by a helper class.

All sorted. Had to bind the event in Page_Load not PreRender! Thank you!
