Programmatically access Repeater using child RepeaterItem

Question

I have a bunch of repeaters which require similar handling. But the handler requires access, not only to the RepeaterItem which is a subject of the command, but also its containing Repeater.

protected void SpecificRepeater_ItemCommand(object source, RepeaterCommandEventArgs e)

{

    GenericHandler(e);

}



private void GenericHandler(RepeaterCommandEventArgs e) 

{

    RepeaterItem row = e.Item;

    // Do things with the item.



    Repeater table = e.<???>;

    // Do things with the repeater.

}

Basically I'm asking what goes in

<???>

. How can I get the repeater?

Answer 1

In the ItemCommand, the source is the Repeater itself, not the button. So cast the source back to a Repeater.

protected void SpecificRepeater_ItemCommand(object source, RepeaterCommandEventArgs e)
{
    Repeater repeater = source as Repeater;
    GenericHandler(e, repeater);
}

private void GenericHandler(RepeaterCommandEventArgs e, Repeater repeater)
{
}
