first, thx to martin for helping me with my initial post. im a newbie
and appreciate the help.

if someone can help me with another question, please do.

i have a repeater pulling job information from a database. each repeater
itemtemplate has with a linkbutton and a row with a label (for now).

<asp:repeater ID="EmployeeInfo" OnItemCommand="getActivityList"
runat="server">

<itemtemplate>
<tr bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<td><%# Container.DataItem(0)%></td>
<td><%# Container.DataItem(1)%></td>
<td><%# Container.DataItem(2)%></td>
<td><%# Container.DataItem(3)%></td>
<td><%# Container.DataItem(4)%></td>
<td><asp:linkbutton Text=<%# Container.DataItem(5)%>
runat="server"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><asp:label id="litLabel" Runat="Server" Text="labelti"
Visible="false"/></td>
</tr>
</itemtemplate>

when u click on the linkbutton, the label(eventually it will be a
placeholder with more database info in another repeater) will become
visible with detailed info bout the job.

the first Container.DataItem(0) has an ID number that I need to extract
and send to the stored procedure. how can i extract that dataItem. ive
been able to loop throw the items in the repeater item and extract the
entire row. i tried to convert that info to a DataBoundLiteralControl
and pull the text from it. but when i tried to use string functions to
pull the ID number or even get a length of string i could consistently
get what i need. i figured out that row is coded with <html> table and
row tags. thus, im back to trying to get the data from the first
container.dataitem. so, to make a long request even longer, what object
or class do i use to pull individual dataitems from an item. i looked at
the dataitem property from repeateritem class, but i cant get it to
work. again, thx for the help.
