you are correct.

I mean the reviews (collection) is not display its repeated Data in following :

<asp:BulletedList ID="lstReviews" runat="server" lDataSource='<%# Eval("reviews")%>' DataTextField="title" DisplayMode="Text">
</asp:BulletedList>

i have put lDataSource above, because in DataSource it was giving Error.

But, incode file i have given
Repeater1.DataSource = allGenres;

the repeated data of <asp:Literal ID="Literal1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("name") %>' EnableViewState="True"> </asp:Literal>

is appearing properly.

It's DataSource, not IDataSource

What error do you get? Please be specific when posting questions here; the more relevant information you provide, the easier it is for me or others to answer your questions.

Except for the casing your code looks fine. Is Reviews (or reviews) indeed a collection of reviews in your code? Did you set uo the database model correctly?

Can you try it with the code from the book? That can rule out a code issue. If it works then, the problem is in the database.
