Hi,
in one of the previous posts i suggested the code above as a good starting point. it will work!
however please note that for 20 results you will invoke the db 20 times which may result in page load latency. another way to do it, is add a counter column to your profile collection, and each time a follower is added to a profile, you increment it by one, and so, you already have the result in the profile collection which you can just use as a text in the repeater, connect it to that new column
makes sense?
