Server controls in an asp.net repeater

Question

Seems like I\'ve ran into a wall here. I want some datasource to be bound to an asp.net repeater (well, doesn\'t have to be a repeater, but it seems like that\'s what I want

You can use the Repeater.ItemDataBound Event to locate controls nested in a Repeater.

Then in code behind:

protected void Repeater1_ItemDataBound(object source, RepeaterCommandEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.Item.ItemType != ListItemType.Item && e.Item.ItemType !=
      ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
      return;

   TextBox textBox1 = e.Item.FindControl("TextBox1") as TextBox;
   if (textBox1 != null)
   {
   // do something with it
   }
}
