Question

I am trying to access a control inside a Repeater. The control is inside the <ItemTemplate> tag. I am using FindControl but it’s always coming out Null.
What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

My guess is that FindControl can only be used in record-level events such as ItemDataBound:

protected void Repeater1_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
    (ControlTypeCast) e.Item.FindControl("myControl")).SomeProperty = "foo";
}
