Repeater not selecting value of Label

Hey,

I am trying to do a SELECT where i bind a repeater using the value of a label. I have tested the label to see if the value is actually outputted and it is, but the SELECT does not work…

The Label that i am retrieving the value of is actually within a Listview so i append it to another label outside of the listview so i can get access to it easily.

This is my repeater:-


    <!-- start child repeater -->
    <asp:repeater id="childRepeater" runat="server" 
        onitemdatabound="childRepeater_ItemDataBound">
         <itemtemplate>
         <asp:Label ID="lblCommentID" runat="server" Visible="false" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "CID") %>'></asp:Label>
             <div style="height:auto;margin-bottom:12px;">
   <a href="<%# "user-wall.aspx?ID=" + Eval("UID") %>"><asp:Image ID="Image5" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# string.Format("~/avatars/{0}", Eval("Avatar")) %>' runat="server" Width="45px" Height="45px"/></a>
      <p><a href="<%# "user-wall.aspx?ID=" + Eval("UID") %>"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Fname") %></a> 
   - <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Comment") %>
  <br />
  <span style='float:right;font-size:11px'><asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" visible="false" OnClientClick='<%# "remove-response.aspx?ID=" + Eval("CID") %>'>remove</asp:LinkButton></span><small><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Added") %></small>
  </p>
  </div>
         </itemtemplate>
      </asp:repeater>
      <!-- end child repeater --> 
  </div>
        <div style="width: 442px; margin-top:10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: auto;">
      <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server" CssClass="text-comment" onfocus="this.value='';" 
        onblur="if (this.value=='') this.value='Write a comment';" 
        value="Write a comment" ForeColor="#A79090" Width="339px"></asp:TextBox>
    <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Submit"  
                CommandArgument='<%# Eval("CID") %>' onclick="Button1_Click"/>   
    </div>

Then on page load i try to bind it like this:-


        if (!Page.IsPostBack)
        {
            string photoID = Request.QueryString["PhotoID"];
            string albumID = Request.QueryString["AlbumID"];
            ViewState["hfAlbumID"] = albumID;
            //Get Page number by passing photo id
            int index = GetPageNumber(int.Parse(photoID), int.Parse(albumID));
            DataPager1.SetPageProperties(index, 1, true);

            string connStr1 = "Data Source=SQLB23.webcontrolcenter.com;User ID=wbsd;Password=*****;";
            SqlConnection dbConn1 = new SqlConnection(connStr1);

            dbConn1.Open();

            string sSQL = "SELECT (hussaini_album_comments.comment_id) AS CID, " +
                    "(hussaini_album_comments.comment) AS Comment, " +
                    "(hussaini_album_comments.user_id) AS UID, " +
                    "(hussaini_album_comments.date_added) AS Added, " +
                    "(hussaini_users.fname) AS Fname, " +
                    "(hussaini_users.avatar) AS Avatar " +
                    "FROM hussaini_album_comments LEFT OUTER JOIN hussaini_users ON " +
                    "hussaini_album_comments.user_id = hussaini_users.user_id WHERE hussaini_album_comments.pic_id = @pic_id";
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sSQL, dbConn1);

            cmd.Parameters.Add("@pic_id", SqlDbType.Char).Value = Label6.Text;

            SqlDataReader dtrCat = cmd.ExecuteReader();

            if (dtrCat.HasRows)
            {
                childRepeater.DataSource = dtrCat;
                childRepeater.DataBind();
            }
            else
            {
                Label8.Visible = true;
                Label8.Text = "<BR><i>There are no comments for this photo. Please enter something.</i><BR>";
            }
            dtrCat.Close();
            dbConn1.Close();
        }

I retrieve the value of Label6 by using the value of Label5 which is inside a listview like so:-


    protected void lvPhotoViewer_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (ListViewDataItem item in lvPhotoViewer.Items)
        {
            Label Label5 = (Label)item.FindControl("Label5");

            if (Label5.Text != null)
            {
                Label6.Text = Label5.Text;
            }
        }
    }

So now i have the value of Label 5 inside Label 6. So in the SELECT why does Label 6 not get picked up?

To prove that it does actually get the value i manage to insert into the database on button click like so:-


    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            if (TextBox2.Text != "Write a comment" && TextBox2.Text != "")
            {
                string conString = "Data Source=SQLB23.webcontrolcenter.com;User ID=wbsd;Password=******";
                SqlConnection empConnection = new SqlConnection(conString);

                string insertStatement = "INSERT INTO hussaini_album_comments ([pic_id], [user_id], [comment], [date_added]) "
                    + "VALUES (@pic_id, @user_id, @comment, GetDate())";

                SqlCommand insertCommand = new SqlCommand(insertStatement, empConnection);

                insertCommand.Parameters.Add("@pic_id", SqlDbType.Char).Value = Label6.Text;
                insertCommand.Parameters.Add("@user_id", SqlDbType.Char).Value = System.Convert.ToInt32(Session["MEM_ID"].ToString());
                insertCommand.Parameters.Add("@comment", SqlDbType.Char).Value = TextBox2.Text;
                empConnection.Open();

                insertCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();

                empConnection.Close();
            }
        }
        finally
        {
            Response.Redirect("view-photo.aspx?PhotoID=" + Request.QueryString["PhotoID"].ToString() + "&AlbumID=" + Request.QueryString["AlbumID"].ToString() + "&UID=" + Request.QueryString["UID"].ToString());
        } 
    }

See this parameter:-

insertCommand.Parameters.Add(“@pic_id”, SqlDbType.Char).Value = Label6.Text;

I am using Label 6 here and have no problems with it, so why does the SELECT in page load not work?

Hope someone can help.
