You have to edit it in HTML view. I had this same *problem* and never solved it. If you drag a new repeater onto a webform in Design view, you will see that it doesn't show up except for the name of the repeater. I'm thinking this is by design since a repeater doesn't have much to show except what it draws at design time.
