Question

I need to loop through a collection and pass the values to a UserControl. It’s dynamic and I can’t figure out how to pass the parameter values. I’m using a repeater.

<asp:Repeater runat="server" id="Repeater1">
  <ItemTemplate>
     <uc1:testControl ID="testControl1" runat="server"   />
  </ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

In the code behind:

Repeater1.DataSource = _myCollection;
                Repeater1.DataBind();

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

ASPX code:

<asp:Repeater runat="server" id="Repeater1" OnItemDataBound="Repeater1_ItemDataBound">
    <ItemTemplate> 
        <uc1:testControl ID="testControl1" runat="server" /> 
    </ItemTemplate > 
</asp:Repeater>

Codebehind:

protected void Repeater1_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
    testControl ctrl = e.Item.FindControl("testControl1") as testControl;

    if (ctrl != null)
        ctrl.MyParameterName = "Foo";
}
