Server controls in an asp.net repeater

Question

Seems like I\'ve ran into a wall here. I want some datasource to be bound to an asp.net repeater (well, doesn\'t have to be a repeater, but it seems like that\'s what I want

Answer 1

If you don't want to use an ItemCommand and want to just loop through the Repeater's items collection, so you have one "save" button at the bottom of the page, you can do it like this:

foreach(RepeaterItem itm in MyRepeater.Items)
{
     TextBox t = (TextBox)(itm.FindControl("TextBox1"));
     // do something with it.

}

Of course, you'll need to make sure that the TextBox1 in the ASPX has the Runat="Server" attribute.
