1 What is .ascx file (is that the new .css file)

2. I added the text below the this type of file
<font face ="Comic Sans MS" size="4" color="green"><li>

<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.title" ) %>

</li></font>

and I referenced (as instructed) this file as a template to a repeater
control and all I get is the actual text of the file the content of the
field with the correct formatting

Any help will be appreciated,

Ascx are the extensions for custom control files.

Can you paste the markup of the repeater?

<body MS_POSITIONING="GridLayout">
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<asp:DropDownList id="DropDownList1" style="Z-INDEX: 101; LEFT: 344px;
POSITION: absolute; TOP: 24px"
runat="server" Width="152px" Height="48px"
AutoPostBack="True"></asp:DropDownList>
<asp:Repeater id="Repeater1" runat="server"></asp:Repeater>
</form>
</body>
</HTML>


and here is the code of the load event of the form:

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

'Put user code to initialize the page here

If Not IsPostBack Then

DropDownList1.Items.Add("Comic")

DropDownList1.Items.Add("Professional")

End If

If DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text = "Professional" Then

Repeater1.ItemTemplate = LoadTemplate("Professional.ascx")

ElseIf DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text = "Comic" Then

Repeater1.ItemTemplate = LoadTemplate("Comic.ascx")

End If



SqlDataAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1)

Repeater1.DataSource = DataSet1

Repeater1.DataBind()

End Sub

Thank you indeed

Please see below:
<font face ="Comic Sans MS" size="4" color="green"><li>

<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.title" ) %>

</li></font>



Thanks,

You should put the markup at the ItemStyle tag. The databinging
expression seems fine.

If you want to use it as a user control your control must support
templating. Is this want you want ?
 
I don't want to use it a User Control

I added the ItemStyle tag and still I have the same problem

Thank you for your help,
Samuel
