How to access ItemTemplate control from ItemCommand event using Repeater

Question

My repeater:

<asp:Repeater ID="rptrContacts" runat="server" OnItemCommand="rptrContact_ItemCommand" >

<div ID="itemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<%# Eval("Name") %>
<%# Eval("Email") %>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lbtnEditContact" runat="server" CommandName="Edit"  Text="Edit"   CommandArgument='<%# Eval("ContactID") %>' />
<asp:Label ID="lblUpdateConfirm" runat="server" Text="Update Confirmed" Visible="false" />
</ItemTemplate>
</div>

<div ID="editTemplate runat="server" visibility="false">
Update your Info:<br>
Name: <asp:TextBox ID="txtName" runat="server Text="<%# Eval("Name") %>"/> <br>
Email:  <asp:TextBox ID="txtEmail" runat="server Text="<%# Eval("Email") %>"/><br>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lbtnUpdateContact" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("ContactID") %>'   CommandName="UpdateContact" runat="server" >Update</asp:LinkButton>
</div> 

</asp:Repeater

and code for ItemCommand:

switch(e.CommandName)
{
case "Edit":
//make editTemplate div visible
HtmlGenericControl divEditContact = (HtmlGenericControl)e.Item.FindControl ("divEditContact");
divEditContact.Visible = true;
break;

case "Update":
Employee updateEmployee = new Employee
       {
           employeeName = txtName.Text:
           employeeEmail = txtEmail.Text:
       }

updateEmployee = API.UpdateEmployee(updateEmployee);

          //display lblUpdateConfirm visible to True
         // so user sees this confirm messge in the newly updated ItemTemplate

}

How can I access my lblUpdateConfirm and turn its Text state to visible from inside the ItemCommand, so that when the user sees the newly updated ITemTemplate, the label is showing the "Update Confirmed" message?

Answer 1

VB:

CType(e.Item.FindControl("lblUpdateConfirm"), Label).Visible = True;

C #:

Label lblToMakeVisible = (Label)e.Item.FindControl("lblUpdateConfirm");
lblToMakeVisible.Visible = True;
