Question

I need to insert a user control into a repeater

<asp:Repeater runat="server" ID="rptAdditionalPages">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <div id="<%# ((ftj.com.AdditionalPageForProductDetail)Container.DataItem).DivID %>" class="tab_content">
                    <h1><%# ((ftj.com.AdditionalPageForProductDetail)Container.DataItem).Title %></h1>
                    <%# ((ftj.com.AdditionalPageForProductDetail)Container.DataItem).Body %>
                    <uc:EnrollmentMethod ID="EnrollmentMethod2" runat="server" />
                </div>
            </ItemTemplate>                    
        </asp:Repeater>

When the user control is inserted with this method the code behind cannot find EnrollmentMethod2. Is it possible to add user controls in repeaters?

Answer 1

You can’t find it because it’s nested in the repeater. You will need to dig into the repeater to find it.

foreach (RepeaterItem item in Repeater1.Items)
{
    EnrollmentMethod control = (EnrollmentMethod )item.FindControl("EnrollmentMethod2");
}
