Hi Mike,

This seems to be consistent with what I said earlier. ItemDataBound is only called when the data is bound which usually takes place at the initial page load and not at PostBack time. Markup binding, like you have now, is called both times.

Try to move your logic to the ItemCreated event, which is called on PostBack as well as the data is reconstructed from ViewState.

Hope this helps,

Imar
