  Casual Leave  : Textbox1
  Medical Leave : Textbox1
  Annual Leave  : Textbox1

how can i store the repeater value to database. I don’t have an idea for storing this value please help me ..

Answer 1

foreach (RepeaterItem item in RepeatInformation.Items)
{
    if (item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
    {
        TextBox textBox = (TextBox)item.FindControl("TextBox1");

        //Now you have your textbox to do with what you like
        //You can access the .Text property to find the new value that needs saving to the database
    }
}

On a side note. I would consider revising the names of your controls. It’ll make life a lot easier in the future if you adopt some sort of convention and use camel case.

With regards to saving this to a database – it entirely depends on how you’re dealing with data access at the moment. That’s another question altogether I think.
