asp:Datalist to a asp:repeater?

Hi

I'm quite new to asp.net so just after abit of advice please.
I want to change the homepage products datalist to a repeater so I can use my own way of displaying the data without the tables or the spans and breaks. I have changed the tag, changed the ascx.cs and changed the ascx.designer.cs files.
It still throws an error.

Firstly is this possible? and secondly what else do I need to do to get this to work?

Thanks in advance.

It is possible to "change the homepage products datalist to a repeater".

Add the following to file: Modules\HomePageProducts.ascx

<asp:Repeater ID="rptrProducts" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="rptProducts_OnItemDataBound">
    <HeaderTemplate>            
    </HeaderTemplate>
    <ItemTemplate>
        <div class="ProductItem">
            <div class="title">
                <asp:HyperLink ID="hlProduct" runat="server" />
            </div>
            <div class="picture">
                <asp:HyperLink ID="hlImageLink" runat="server" />
            </div>
        </div>
    </ItemTemplate>
    <FooterTemplate>
    </FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

You can comment out or delete the DataList (dlCatalog).

Edit file: Modules\HomePageProducts.ascx.cs

Update the BindData() function, comment out/delete the data binding to the DataList (dlCatalog) and add the databinding to the Repeater (rptrProducts) -new lines are underlined.

private void BindData()
{
    ProductCollection products = ProductManager.GetAllProductsDisplayedOnHomePage();
    if (products.Count > 0)
    {
        //dlCatalog.DataSource = products;
        //dlCatalog.DataBind();

        rptrProducts.DataSource = products;
        rptrProducts.DataBind();
    }
    else
    {
        this.Visible = false;
    }
}

Change the function signature for dlRelatedProducts_ItemDataBound(...)
FROM

protected void dlRelatedProducts_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)

TO

protected void rptProducts_OnItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)

This is for version 1.40 and you will need to recompile the solution.
