Servy has a point... so search by ID. if you have a textbox in your repeater named tbxKey. The same for a LinkButton.
just call the repeater like this and give the textbox and LinkButton a value.
example '
foreach (RepeaterItem item in repeatername.Items)
{
((TextBox)item.FindControl("tbxKey")).Text = "hello";
((LinkButton) item.FindControl("LinkButton")).Enabled = false;
}
' I'll have to put the whole object (type + item.findcontrol) in extra () then it will get the type's properties.
BTW, think you'll want to get ride of the stars in your name
Hope it helps you
