access control inside repeater

[bobetko]

How can I access control inside repeater's footer template.

<asp:Repeater ID="RptImages" runat="server">
...
...
<FooterTemplate>
 <asp:LinkButton ID="linkPrev" CommandName="prev"
    OnCommand="PaginationClicked_Command" 
    runat="server">Prev</asp:LinkButton>
 <asp:LinkButton ID="linkNext"  CommandName="next"
    OnCommand="PaginationClicked_Command"
    runat="server">Next</asp:LinkButton>
 <asp:Label ID="lblCounter" runat="server"
    Width="100px"></asp:Label>                        
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

I have tried

LinkButton lkPrev = (LinkButton)RptImages.FindControl("linkPrev");
lkPrev.Enabled = false;

But control can't be find and null is returned.

thanks to all.

Try this:

private void RptImages_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterItemEventArgs e) 
{ 
 if (e.Item.ItemType.Footer) { 
   LinkButton lkPrev = ((LinkButton)(RptImages.FindControl("linkPrev"))); 
 } 
}

For this line:

if (e.Item.ItemType.Footer) ....

I got error: "Cannot implicitly convert ...ListItemType to 'bool'" I guess there should be other way to test footer?

Thanks

try
If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Footer

thanks, but anyway it doesn't work.

protected void RptImages_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Footer)
  {
    LinkButton lPrev = ((LinkButton)(RptImages.FindControl("linkPrev")));
    lPrev.Enabled = false;
   }
}

lprev is always NULL and I am receiving an error.

Ok, I got it....
A little change was needed "e.Item" instead "RptImages". No wonder it didn't work.

Thanks a lot Jim.

protected void RptImages_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Footer)
  {
    LinkButton lPrev = ((LinkButton)([b]e.Item.[/b]FindControl("linkPrev")));
    lPrev.Enabled = false;
   }
}

try

System.Web.UI.WebControls.LinkButton oLabel;
				oLabel = ((System.Web.UI.WebControls.LinkButton )(e.Item.FindControl("linkPrev")));
