DataList item not binding.

[Barry]

Hi,
I have a Datalist inside the ItemTemplate of another DataList. When I
drilldown, I'm not getting any data in either the itemtemplate or
headertemplate of the second DataList. I've confirmed that the
datasource is being populated properly, however the itemdatabound
event is not being fired. Here's some code:

<asp:datalist id="BatchList" runat="server"
