I have a FormView nested in a repeater. The command control in the ItemTemplate (i.e a LinkButton with the CommandName "Edit")  works fine, but in the EditItemTemplate the LinkButtons with CommandNames "Update" and "Cancel" do not fire the ItemCommand event handler.

 Any ideas why that might be and how I can get round it?

Hi:

  Could you please post some code for us to reproduce your problem?

Thanks

Here you go. The ItemCommand in the FormView's ItemTemplate fires the ItemCommand event, but the two in the EditItemTemplate don't:

<asp:Repeater ID="RepeaterContact" runat="server" DataSourceID="ContactODS" OnDataBinding="RepeaterContact_DataBinding" OnPreRender="RepeaterContact_PreRender">

<ItemTemplate>
    
        <asp:HiddenField ID="hdnID" Value='<%# Eval("ID")%> ' runat="server" />
        <asp:HiddenField ID="hdnContact" Value='<%# Eval("Contact_ID")%> ' runat="server" />

Hi:

  It works fine on my machine. If it's all your code, I have no idear for now what'll cause this problem. Are you sure FormViewContact_ItemCommand  is not fire?

 What about test it in a new project?

Thanks
