Question

I have a repeater component to show data. I can get row index by using Repeater1.Items[e.Item.ItemIndex].ItemIndex.ToString() but it gives me just the selected row. How can I find also the column index ?

Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

To get a reference to a control within a repeater I use FindControl() which takes the name of the control that was assigned to the id attribute.

Dim EmployeeRepeater as Repeater = CType(Me.Form.FindControl("EmployeeRepeater")
Dim EmployeeRepeaterItem as RepeaterItem
Dim EmployeeName as Textbox

For Each EmployeeRepeaterItem In EmployeeRepeater.Items
    Employeename = CType(EmployeeRepeaterItem.FindControl("EmployeenNameTextBox")
    'do something here with Employee Name
Next
