Hello Alex,

Thank you for posting.

Is this usercontrol you're developing still the one over mentioned in your
former threads? As for hosted in databinding repeater control scenario, the
only difference is that when the repeater control is performing
databinding( repeater.DataBind method is called), it will populae
repeaterItems and perform databinding on all the sub controls in each
repeaterItem(include your usercontrol if it is put in the repeater
control).   Also, since your ascx usercontrol has its own databinding (in
page_load ) code logic, it may conflict with page's databinding (when the
repeater.dataBind cause the usercontrol in repeaterItem to databind ).  
Generally, I would change the original databinding code into the "DataBind"
override method  in my usercontrol. e.g.

========in ascx code behind======

 public override void DataBind()
   {
       base.DataBind();
       
       PerformDataBind();
         
   }
==============

PerformDataBind() is the method which encapsulate the code to query
database and populate the dropdownlist ....  

As for the ViewState error you mentioned, I think it's a control specific
problem, would you provide your current version of the usercontrol so that
I can have a look on it?
