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

Answer 1

Seems like my problem was in the way I was thinking :)

My solution: I just added controls as I normally would do, but inside the ItemTemplate. On callback events of the controls, I'd go for:

(Button example)

protected void btnUpdate_OnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Button b = sender as Button;
        if (b != null)
        {
            RepeaterItem ri = b.Parent as RepeaterItem;
            if (ri != null)
            {
                string name = null;

                //Fetch data
                TextBox txtName = ri.FindControl("txtName") as TextBox;

.. etc..

So, after finding the RepeaterItem i just treat it as I would with any ControlGroup. Doesn't matter that I actually got 5 different textbosses, coded with ID="txtName", since asp.net automagically gives the controls "obfuscated" names in the client markup, and translates this back to my ID's on postback.

Hope this helps someone, and sorry for bothering :)
