Control binding to nested properties in DataRepeater

Hi guys,

A very convenient feature of binding is that one can bind to nested properties. For example, consider the following:
public class Person
{
public string LastName {get; set;}
}
public class Employee
{
public Person Person {get; set;}
}
Then one can bind a textbox’s “Text” property like
txtLast.DataBindings.Add(new Binding(“Text”, employeeObject, “Person.LastName”));

And all this works very nicely, without having to “flatten” the object, i.e. add a new property to Employee like PersonLastName = Person.LastName.

However, this seems to not be the case if the textbox is in the ItemTemplate of a DataRepeater. Is this intentional, a neglected feature or a bug? In any case, it would be a nice enhancement.

I am attaching a project showing this behaviour.

Best,
Alex
