I have a Repeater control with an id of "repMessages". I'd like to stick a
label control (id "returnLink") w/in the footer template of repMessages.

Can this be done? I keep getting compiler errors "Object reference not set
to an instance of an object". This is because, I assume, i have my label
control specified w/in the Repeater control.

Thanks for any information!

    If you put a web control within a container, you can access it by doing:
 
Label l = (Label)(yourReapeater.FindControl("yourLabelId"));
 
    This seems to work pretty consistently for me, but obviously there's
some kind of performance hit with .FindControl (whether or not it really
matters when you're using .NET to develop anything is the question).
