XML Data Source - Basic Repeater - Transformation problem

I'm pulling in a list of videos on a playlist on YouTube through their API. I seem to have data coming in, but I am unable to get all the fields out of the data.

I'm using an XML Data Source and a Basic Repeater.

Here is an example of one of the "entry" nodes:

... and my first attempts at a transformation for this data is:

<%# Eval("id") %> : <%# Eval("updated") %> : <%# Eval("title") %>
<hr />

What I get for output is:

"http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/0A4DE2FB25C19994/PL1IolYy-_inl68eaF3yP0WdPiRtK8Mna4 : 2012-03-15T19:38:04.590Z : "

In other words, it seems to be able to access the "id" and "updated" values, but not the "title" info. I have been all over these forums and Google looking for how to access the rest of this to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Would it be possible to post here an example of the complete XML document and the export of XML Data source properties. Thank you. Best regards, Michal Legen

RE:XML Data Source - Basic Repeater - Transformation problem

Hi am facing problem in specifying the table name in the XML data source repeater.

I am trying read a xml file by spacing it in a folder under my project root. Added XML data source repeater on the page, specified the file path and added a basic repeater with data source control id and transformation for fetching data from the xml file.

But its not showing any data. I guess, need to specify the table name but I am not getting how to find out the table name.

Please help me to achieve this.

Thanks in advance.

RE:XML Data Source - Basic Repeater - Transformation problem

@Jiveabillion - It's not our primary platform, but we like to stay flexible. In this case, our client already had a lot invested in Kentico, so we stayed with it. BTW, is this Jeff Samples? I don't believe we've ever met in person, but I'm trying to match the small thumbnail on the forum here with some other sources online.

-------------------------------------

RE: The initial question - I abandoned this development direction in favor of another method (at least for the time being), so I'm afraid I have no further input on the topic at the time.


Certified Developer 8	Jiveabillion - 7/11/2012 3:43:27 PM RE:XML Data Source - Basic Repeater - Transformation problem No, I'm not Jeff Samples. I used to work with him though.
