I got a page that displays records with a repeater
inside the repeater item records i have controls that get modified with the findcontrol method and they work fine when the page first loads. However, on postback the findcontrol method fails. When debugging the postback I noticed the The repeater itemcreated event is the first thing to happen. Whis is doing this without calling the datareader first?

On every page hit, the controls have to be created. Initially, the repeater has no internal data so it doesn't do anything. Once you have databound some data to it, it can create its repeating items. On a postback page hit, the repeater rebuild itself at the beginning of the page lifecycle. When it does this, it raises the ItemCreated event for each item. When you bind to the control, it also raises the ItemDataBound event for each item (ItemCreated first, then ItemDataBound).
