Hi Everyone,

I have a user control with a repeater in it that displays some information on it in an inital page_load. Upon postback, the data disappears. I have Viewstate enabled everywhere, so that shouldn't be it. I removed a if (!Page.IsPostBack) event (commented out below) and then I get the following error:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Line 65: Label1.text = data1.Title


I have my code below for the repeater and for the codebehind. The user control is nested within 2 other user controls which is in a master page. Thanks in advance!

Repeater

<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server" EnableViewState="true" OnItemCreated="Repeater1_ItemCreated">
<ItemTemplate>
<p><strong><asp:Label ID="lblItemTitle" runat="server"></asp:Label></strong> <br />
<asp:Label ID="lblItemDescription" runat="server"></asp:Label> <asp:HyperLink ID="hypMore" runat="server">[more]</asp:HyperLink>
</p>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
