DataList is Showing Up in Source Code, But Not On Web Page?

[kwilliams]

For some reason, the data for my datalist is showing up in the source code of the page without a problem, but it's not being displayed on the webpage. That page is just blank. Why could this happen?

Here are more details:

I've tested all of the stored procedures on the web page and within SQL Server's Management Studio, and they work great. And as I stated, the data is appearing in the source code. Thanks.

ASP.NET PAGE:

   <form id="formEmployees" name="formEmployees" enctype="multipart/form-data" runat="server">
		<div id="viewstatecontent">
		<table width="100%" id="Employees">
			<tbody>
			<asp:DataList ID="dlEmployees" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="dtlEmployees_ItemDataBound" RepeatLayout="Flow">
				<HeaderTemplate>
					<tr>
						<td>Full Name</td>
					</tr>
				</HeaderTemplate>
				<ItemTemplate>
					<tr>
						<td>
							<asp:Label ID="lblFullName" runat="server"></asp:Label>
						</td>
					</tr>
				</ItemTemplate>
			</asp:DataList>
			</tbody>
		</table>
		</div>
	</form>
</asp:Content>

VB.NET PAGE:

Partial Class employees
	Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

	'Assign global variables
	Dim sqlConn As SqlConnection
	Dim sqlCmd As SqlCommand
	Dim strConnection As String
	Public strJobID As String = Nothing
	Private ds_details As New DataSet()
	Private cmd_details As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter

	Sub Page_Load(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal E As EventArgs)
		'Assign connection string
		strConnection = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("strConn_Employees")
		sqlConn = New SqlConnection(strConnection)
		strJobID = Request.QueryString("JobID")

		'Bind data
		BindstrDbRecordID_employeedetails()
	End Sub

	'Bind Data to DataList Populating the Dataset
	Sub BindstrDbRecordID_employeedetails()
		'SELECT applications from database
		cmd_details = New SqlDataAdapter("spEmployees @jobid = '" & strJobID & "'", sqlConn) 'LIVE

		'Bind data
		cmd_details.Fill(ds_details, "tblEmployees")
		dlEmployees.DataSource = ds_details
		dlEmployees.DataBind()

	End Sub

	'The ItemDataBound Event
	Public Sub dtlEmployees_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataListItemEventArgs)

		Dim drv As DataRowView = CType(e.Item.DataItem, DataRowView)

		If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Or e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Then
			'Assign database values
			Dim strDbFName As String = drv.Row("FName").ToString.Trim
			Dim strDbMName As String = drv.Row("MName").ToString.Trim
			Dim strDbLName As String = drv.Row("LName").ToString.Trim

			'Assign label value
			CType(e.Item.FindControl("lblFullName"), Label).Text = strDbLName & ", " & strDbMName & " " & strDbFName
		End If
		drv = Nothing 'Close DataRowView
	End Sub
End Class

You lost me. You said its blank but its showing in the source code . Can you give us a link to see? You might also want to make sure you have value on your return set. Use log4net or some logging, debugging tools you're familiar with.

For security reasons, I couldn't post the entire set of code. But that page is located within a Master Page.

So I just removed all of the Master Page code for testing, and the data appears. So it's obviously a problem with the Master Page.

I appreciate your help!
