Using this in a DataList repeater user control.  Use am trying to build a 
dynamic menu based off a Sql Server 2000 database but when I compile and 
run i get the middle finger about how the DataItem definition doesn't 
exist in the System.Web.UI.UserControl class ???  How in the hell does 
everyone else use it?


code snippet for the control



<asp:DataList id=List runat=server >
  <ItemTemplate>
    <asp:HyperLink id=hyper1 class=UnSelected Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval
           Container.DataItem, "name")%>' 
           NavigateUrl='<%# "products.aspx?departmentID=" +
           DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "departmentid"+
           "&selection=" + Container.ItemIndex %>' runat="server" />
  </ItemTemplate>
  <SelectedItemTemplate>
    <asp:HyperLink id=hyper1 class=Selected Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval
           Container.DataItem, "name")%>' 
           NavigateUrl='<%# "products.aspx?departmentID=" +
           DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "departmentid"+
           "&selection=" + Container.ItemIndex %>' runat="server" />
  </SelectedItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>


TIA
