 <asp:repeater id="repDocuments" runat="server">
<HeaderTemplate>    
    <TABLE id="Table61" height="150" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <TR>                                    
    <TD class="GridSeperator"></TD>
    <TD class="GridHeader" height="20px" width="25%" align="center">Document Name</TD>
    <TD class="GridSeperator"></TD>
    <TD class="GridHeader" align="center" width="20%">Description</TD>
    <TD class="GridSeperator"></TD>
    </TR>
    </HeaderTemplate>
    
    <ItemTemplate>
    <TR>
    <td class="GridSeperator">    </td>
    <TD align="left" valign="top" class="GridCell" height="25px">    <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.DocumentTitle")%>    </TD>
    <TD class="GridSeperator"></TD>
    <TD align="left" valign="top" class="GridCell"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Description")%></TD>
    
    <TD class="GridSeperator"></TD>
    </TR>
    </ItemTemplate>
    
    <FooterTemplate>
    <TR>
    <td class="GridSeperator">    </td>
    <TD class="GridCell"></TD>
    <TD class="GridSeperator"></TD>
    <TD class="GridCell"></TD>
    <TD class="GridSeperator"></TD>
    </TR>
    <TR>
    <TD class="GridSeperator" colspan="11" height="3"></TD>
    </TR>
    </TABLE>
    FooterTemplate> </asp:repeater>

the bold line is showing compilationError: cs1040 Preprocessor directives must appear as
the first non-whitespace character on a line

thx 

Hi Creative,

I'm sorry to say this, but I'm not able to reproduce this error.  You might want to click on "Show Complete Compilation Source" in the error page you receive, since that will show how the databinding code you're using is used in context, and ought to help track down the source of the error.

HTH,
Clay

P.S.  How is this related to Silverlight?

 Try: (whitespace removed in case there were special non-printing chars or something odd in there, and new 2.0 syntax with Eval)

<TD align="left" valign="top" class="GridCell" height="25px"><%#Eval("DocumentTitle")%></TD>

 thx.. the problem is resolved now. some '>' was missing. on looking compilation source, i found error. this is not really related to silver light. unintentionally was sent to this forum.

thx again.
