User Control in Repeater

asp.net building controls: Hello,

I have the following requirement:

I have to create a Repeater control which has two columns. One has
text and other's got to have
(1) a group of radiobuttons OR
(2) a group of checkboxes OR
(3) a textbox

The caption of the radiobutton/checkbox is to come from database as a
comma delimited string. I'd like to use a user control that will take
- type of control to display and caption string and output html

How should I proceed? and how can I iterate through the rows to get
the answer and save it to the database?

Please let me know if the above is not clear and I will try to
provide
more info.

Thanks

Hi,

you can iterate the repeater with this idea:

foreach (RepeaterItem rptItem in Repeater1.Items)
{
YourUserControlType uc =
(YourUserControlType )rptItem.FindControl("YourUserControlId");
//Do something with the uc, access properties etc tec
}

And if your user control exposes everything via its properties, you could
access them at this point when iterating the Repeater.
