as you can see in my code… i have a label inside ItemTemplate and what i want is when i click on that particular control i would like to access to the label so that i can update the status…

<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server" DataSourceID="ObjectDataSource1" OnItemCreated="Repeater1_ItemCreated" OnItemDataBound="Repeater1_ItemDataBound">
<ItemTemplate>
    Book:
    <asp:Label ID="lblStatus" runat="server"></asp:Label>
    <Mycontrol:Content1 ID="EmpControl" runat="server"   OnMyControlClick="EmpControl_clicking" />

</asp:Repeater>


  protected void EmpControl_clicking(object sender, EmployeeEventArgs e)
    {
       // how do i get access to the lblStatus???
    }

Answer 1

You will need to use the FindControl method to access controls within templates:

    protected void EmpControl_clicking(object sender, EmployeeEventArgs e)
    {
        MyControl myControl = (MyControl)sender;
        Label c = (Label)myControl.Parent.FindControl("lblStatus");
    }
