Edit : per your other comments, it sounds like you're re-binding the repeater on every postback. When you do that, you destroy the ItemCommand 's event source - the original Repeater item associated with the button the client clicked.
If you do it manually, be sure that you only bind it, if the page is not a postback.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
