Binded Datalist produces no html, but output is fine.

Hi, I have a datalist to which i bind a list of customers, it shows perfectly on the screen, but when i view the html source, the only code shown is that surrounding the datalist, no datalist source is shown.....why is this....what setting have i turned off?

It has to be there in order for the browser to render it (it will be shown within a <table> tag with a row for each entry).

And I promise that if it's not there the browser can't render it!

I think ive solved it, asp.net only renders what is on the page, therefore the datalist contains no data the first time the page loads, therefore does not render it, when i click search, the datalist is populated....very strange..

You original post said that "it shows perfectly on the screen" yet that can't have been the case as, if the datalist contained no data, how could it show perfectly as it wouldn't have been displayed?
