Question

I have an ASP.NET repeater, whose ItemTemplate is a WebUsercontrol named ProviderControl.

<asp:Repeater ID="rep" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="rep_ItemDataBound">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <custom:ProviderControl ID="row" runat="server" />
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

I am populating the custom control with data in the ItemDataBound event.

Inside the provider control I have two buttons that I want to be able to react to on the containing Page.
I know there are Commands, and Command arguments, but how would I do that?

Or is there an easier way than using Commands?

You have to handle ItemCommand event of “Repeater”.

protected void Repeater1_ItemCommand(object source, RepeaterCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        Button btn = e.CommandSource as Button;
        Response.Write(btn.ID);
    }
