If you are using an update panel inside of a repeater’s ItemTemplate you must either use Eval() instead of accessing the data item directly, or you must explicitly cast the data item:

((System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterItem)(Container)).DataItem

That is all 🙂

    ‘ASP.signup_aspx’ does not contain a definition for ‘DetailsView1_ItemInserting’ and no extension method ‘DetailsView1_ItemInserting’ accepting a first argument of type ‘ASP.signup_aspx’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) what is meaning i just past the detail view in to the already existed form with table
