Any way to shorten or simplify the item template markup for a repeater control?
Is there a way to shorten the markup for this repeater? I am binding a DataTable to this repeater.

ASP.Net FindControl is not working - How come?
I have used FindControl in the past, prior to .NET 2.0/3.0. It seems like now, for some reason, the ID's of my controls get a funky named assigned.
