Question

I have placed a TextBox inside repeater but I don’t know what will be the ID to access those TextBoxes. So how I should access them ?

    <asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server" DataSourceID="ObjectDataSource1">
        <ItemTemplate>
            <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" OnTextChanged="TextBox1_TextChanged" AutoPostBack="true" ></asp:TextBox>
        </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:Repeater>

No FindControl please !

I want something similar to following code to access.

TextBox1.Text = "Hi";

I would suggest you to do it like so…

// another way to search for asp elements on page


 public static void GetAllControls<T>(this Control control, IList<T> list) where T : Control
        {
            foreach (Control c in control.Controls)
            {
                if (c != null && c is T)
                    list.Add(c as T);
                if (c.HasControls())
                    GetAllControls<T>(c, list);
            }
        }
