I'm using a repeater for editing, but having a devil of a time setting the
focus to a textbox inside the repeater. Does anyone have an example of how to
do this?
 
Try something like:

TextBox TextBox1 = (TextBox) Repeater1.FindControl("TextBox1");
TextBox1.Focus();

Since it is a repeater, you may have to go to the Row level before invoking
the FindControl method.
 
Great! I had worked around it with tabindexing but I'll give this a shot.

Didn't work. Focus, Focused, etc. don't seemed to be recogognized as members.

Are you using 1.1 or 2.0?

Which explains things since my suggestions are for 2.0. With 1.1, you'll
have to figure out what the control is and use a dynamically created
Javascript to set focus. You can use something like the
Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock method to add your script dynamically.
