I'm just starting a new project and I am getting some really weird stuff happening.

ASP.NET 3.5, VS2008.

I've tried rebuild, close VS, delete everything and get from svn again but I cannot understand why the repeater in the following is null on page_load.

I know this is going to be a headslapping moment. Help me out?

Markup:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="GalleryControl.ascx.cs" Inherits="Site.UserControls.GalleryControl" %>
<asp:Repeater ID="rptGalleries" runat="server">
    <HeaderTemplate><ul></HeaderTemplate>
    <ItemTemplate>
       <li>wqe</li>
    </ItemTemplate>
    <FooterTemplate></ul></FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

Code behind

public partial class GalleryControl : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        rptGalleries.DataSource = new[] {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
        rptGalleries.DataBind();
    }
}

Why is my repeater null? What the F is going on?
