ASP Repeater not showing data

Question

I'm trying to get an alphabet pager working in GridView. It does work, but only one letter shows up in the repeater that I'm using to show the letters. I've read other posts and looked at my code and it seems like it should be working, but it's not. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is my html

<asp:Repeater ID="rptAlphabets" runat="server">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkBtn1" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("Value")%>' Visible='<%# Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("Selected"))%>' OnClick="Alphabet_Click"/>
        <asp:Label ID="lblAlpha" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("Value")%>' Visible='<%# Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("Selected"))%>' />
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

Here is my code behind

Private Sub GenerateAlphabets()
    Dim alphabets As New List(Of ListItem)()
    Dim alphabet As New ListItem
    alphabet.Value = "ALL"
    alphabet.Selected = alphabet.Value.Equals(ViewState("CurrentAlphabet"))
    alphabets.Add(alphabet)
    For i As Integer = 65 To 90
        alphabet = New ListItem()
        alphabet.Value = [Char].ConvertFromUtf32(i)
        alphabet.Selected =   alphabet.Value.Equals(ViewState("CurrentAlphabet"))
        alphabets.Add(alphabet)
    Next

    rptAlphabets.DataSource = alphabets
    rptAlphabets.DataBind()
End Sub

I'm using most of the code from an aspsnippets method.

EDIT : I'm calling the GenerateAlphabets from my Page_Load

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    Try

        ClearMessages()
        If Not IsPostBack Then
            ViewState("CurrentAlphabet") = "ALL"
            Me.GenerateAlphabets()
            BindGrids()
            BindDropDownListBoxes()

        End If
    Catch ex As Exception
        Me.HandleError(ex)
    End Try

End Sub

Change your LinkButton code like this.

<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkBtn1" runat="server" 
        Text='<%#Eval("Value")%>' 
        Visible='<%# Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("Selected")) = False %>'
        OnClick="Alphabet_Click"/>

Reason: You are hiding all LinkButtons that are not currently selected. You should be showing them instead.
