Repeater reference is lost in code behind??

I've just started moving my application logic to code behind files. Now i had a page which was working fine with the inline <script ... > logic, but since i moved it into a code behind file, it doesnt work.

test.aspx
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="True"
EnableSessionState="False" EnableViewState="False"
Src="codebehind/FirstCodeBehind.aspx.cs" Inherits="FirstCodeBehind" %>

FirstCodeBehind.aspx.cs
using System;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.Odbc;
using System.Configuration;

public class FirstCodeBehind : Page
{
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
' .... sql statement, open connection, execute sql command
OdbcDataReader myReader;
myReader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
myRepeater.DataSource = myReader;
myRepeater.DataBind();
myReader.Close();
con.Close();
}
}

On compilation, it says The name 'myRepeater' does not exist in the current context

What could be the problem?

 

In 1.x you need to put a declaration of the repeater into the codebehind, like
Repeater myRepeater
in the codebehind class

 

If i add:

Repeater myRepeater;

just before

myRepeater.DataSource = myReader;

i get this error message:

CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Repeater' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

 

The right syntax would be:

protected Repeater myRepeater;

and i was missing a namespace - using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

Thx for the help anyway.
