I'm trying to bind data in a header list and it doesn't appear to work. My
code is:

<asp:DataList id="dgOurSolutionArray" runat="server"
RepeatDirection="Horizontal" RepeatColumns="4">
<HeaderTemplate>Fred
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ShortDescription") %>
</HeaderTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "SolutionID") %>
</FooterTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ShortDescription") %>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>

I get my short description once, and Fred at the top. No matter what I put
in for the header/footer for DataElements, it doesn't seem to show up.

Any ideas?

TIA - Jeff.

The HeaderTemplate and FooterTemplate aren't designed for repeating data the
way ItemTemplate is.

What is it that you're trying to accomplish?
