CMSRepeater ItemDataBound fired twice

Vu Hung asked on September 23, 2014 10:57

Hi, I have a webpart that contain a CMSRepeater control:

<cms:CMSRepeater ID="repeater" runat="server" OnItemCommand="repeater_ItemCommand"
    OnItemDataBound="repeater_ItemDataBound">
</cms:CMSRepeater>

In the code behind:

public override void OnContentLoaded()
{
    base.OnContentLoaded();
    SetupControl();
}
private void SetupControl()
{
    var lstToBind = new List<string> {"1"};
    this.repeater.DataSource = lstToBind;
    this.repeater.DataBind();
}
protected void repeater_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item)
    {
        // To Do
    }
}

The event repeater_ItemDataBound fired 2 times when I debugging.

Is it normal? How to prevent it.

Thanks

Typically one for the header and one for your first row. You might check to see the other item type that is binding in that event.

Yes, I checked the item type that is binding in the event, you can see the condition if in my code.

You can create a sample webpart and copy the code example above then you will see the repeater_ItemDataBound fired 2 times insteads of run through the item of repeater.

Pleae notice that it not happen if you bind the datasource at page_load event. It happen only when we bind the datasource at OnContentLoaded event.

I'm using KenticoCMS7. Thanks
