Data Item in asp.net

i found an compilation errors with the code as below. I am using asp.net framework 2.0 in vb language:
'DataItem' is not a member of 'System.Web.UI.Page'
How to proceed?
-----------------------------------------------------------------

<asp:repeater ID="rptLinks1" runat="Server">

<ItemTemplate>
<table>
<tr>
<td><%# container.DataItem("tutorial_chapter") %></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink4" runat="server" Text='<%# container.DataItem("tutorial_subject") %>' NavigateUrl='<%# container.DataItem("tutorial_hyperlink") %>'></asp:HyperLink></td>
</tr>
</table>

</itemtemplate>
</asp:repeater>

</td>
<td style="width: 293px"><asp:Label runat="server" Text='<%# Container.DataItem("tut_text") %>' ID="lblTextDesc" Height="271px" Width="278px" /></td>
<td><asp:Image ID="imgSwf" runat="server" Height="273px" ImageAlign="Right" ImageUrl='<%#Container.DataItem("tut_image")%>' Width="214px" /></td>

 

I believe your missing the eval part in your HTML code

something like this should work

<a href="<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "URL") %>">
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Name") %></a>

 

Get confused. Sorry!

 

I'm having a similar problem - did this fix it in the end?

 

try Container.DataItem instead of container.DataItem

 

you are using <%# Container.DataItem("tut_text") %> out of repeater item template
that's why it can't find the property "Container"

<asp:repeater ID="rptLinks1" runat="Server">

<ItemTemplate> 
<table>
<tr>
<td><%# container.DataItem("tutorial_chapter") %></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink4" runat="server" Text='<%# container.DataItem("tutorial_subject") %>' NavigateUrl='<%# container.DataItem("tutorial_hyperlink") %>'></asp:HyperLink></td>
</tr>
</table>

</itemtemplate>
</asp:repeater> 

</td>
<td style="width: 293px">

Problem IS here -->
<asp:Label runat="server" Text='<%# Container.DataItem("tut_text") %>' ID="lblTextDesc" Height="271px" Width="278px" /></td>
<td>

and here -->
<asp:Image ID="imgSwf" runat="server" Height="273px" ImageAlign="Right" ImageUrl='<%#Container.DataItem("tut_image")%>' Width="214px" /></td>

Code (markup):

 

Container.DataItem instead of container.DataItem is right answer.
