Datarepeater and tablelayoutpanel: exception with duplicate rowstyle

.NET

I've been experimenting with the DataRepeater control from the Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks package, hoping it will help me display data in my project in a more efficient manner. It works pretty well when the ItemTemplate is given from the designer, but for my project I'll need the control to take different templates depending on the situation: as such, I've tried writing some code to change the template at runtime. When doing so, however, I get a System.ArgumentException exception after trying to give a DataSource to the control, with the following message:Cannot add or insert the item 'RowStyle' in more than one place. You must first remove it from its current location or clone it.

This is the code I'm using, with DR1 being the DataRepeater and the CNT_ and TB_ arguments being constants I use to keep track of the names:

DR1.BeginResetItemTemplate()
Dim tlp As New TableLayoutPanel With {
    .Dock = DockStyle.Fill,
    .RowCount = 2,
    .ColumnCount = 2
}
tlp.ColumnStyles.Add(New ColumnStyle(SizeType.Absolute, 75))
tlp.ColumnStyles.Add(New ColumnStyle(SizeType.Percent, 100))
tlp.RowStyles.Add(New RowStyle(SizeType.Absolute, 25))
tlp.RowStyles.Add(New RowStyle(SizeType.Absolute, 25))

Dim lblName As New Label With {
    .Dock = DockStyle.Fill,
    .Text = "Name:",
    .TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft
}
Dim tbxName As New TextBox With {
    .Dock = DockStyle.Fill,
    .Name = CNT_NAME
}
Dim lblBday As New Label With {
    .Dock = DockStyle.Fill,
    .Text = "Birth date:",
    .TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft
}
Dim dtpBday As New DateTimePicker With {
    .Dock = DockStyle.Fill,
    .Name = CNT_BDAY,
    .Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Short
}

tlp.Controls.Add(lblName, 0, 0)
tlp.Controls.Add(tbxName, 1, 0)
tlp.Controls.Add(lblBday, 0, 1)
tlp.Controls.Add(dtpBday, 1, 1)

DR1.ItemTemplate.Controls.Clear()
DR1.ItemTemplate.Controls.Add(tlp)
DR1.EndResetItemTemplate()

Dim dt As New DataTable
dt.Columns.Add(TB_NAME)
dt.Columns.Add(TB_BDAY)

dt.Rows.Add("Name 1", New Date(1991, 11, 8))
dt.Rows.Add("Name 2", New Date(1992, 8, 16))
dt.Rows.Add("Name 3", New Date(1993, 7, 5))

DR1.DataSource = dt

What I have tried:

I believe this issue is caused by the TableLayoutPanel I'm using to position the controls: trying to add a TableLayoutPanel to the ItemTemplate by designer caused the same exception. All the custom templates I have to use in my project, however, also use that type of Panel, and I can't just change the structure to avoid the bug. I tried looking up this bug online, but finding resources on the DataRepeater is quite difficult, especially for .NET: the only other person I found with this problem had to give up on the control in the end. Does anyone know a way to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance.
