Accessing a DropDownList inside a repeater...

I have a repeater and within it I have multiple textboxes and 2 repeaters. It is bound to a DataTable within a DataSet.

1) If I change the values of the bound textboxes will it change/update the value within the dataset/datatable?

2) How do I access the DropDownList(s) within the repeater to a) assign values since it is not bound to the dataset/datatable b) get the selected value within the DropDownList?

Basically I have a bunch or information that cannot be put into a datagrid because of time constraints and the requirment of this having to be "pretty" for the users. They need to see all the current data and be able to add more rows. If this is vague then please tell me and I will explain more. Any and all help will be very much appreciated.

is this Delphi ?
Might be .NET, since he uses repeater object.

Man I'm sorry, I thought I posted this inside the ASP section. Yes it is .NET.
then sorry, man, I know only real development stuff
send me ur code. I will write ADO code to do that.
pls click accept button whenever u satisfied with my answer
First off I would like to say that the comment about real development stuff is uncalled for. Sure .NET has it's holes and limitations but come on, there needs to be a mutual respect between developers regarding which enviroment he or she is developing in. This was given to me at my work and to tell you the truth I would not have chose to do to what needs to be done using the architecture they have in place. But that is all besides the point. .NET is a language that alot of people use and are going to use, mainstream corporate America is moving away from Delphi and Perl and everything else so us developers who do this for a living will have to move away from Delphi, Java, JSPs, Beans, Corba, and all those type of tools. I wish this were not true but it is. XML via MS Soap as the middleware is winning and .NET is the enviroment that most people are using. So... Learn something about ASPs or keep your comments to yourself.

Note I didn't no degrade Delphi or anything because I have developed in almost every language listed here.

I'll post my code ASP HTML and Code behind soon.

I totally agree about PHP being faster. You are also correct about .NET being a framework and ASP not being a language. I will always admit all of this but just please don't go around saying that ASP .NET is not a real development stuff. It's sad enough that I have to settle for a job using .NET but come on, I have pride too lol.
