How to find controls in a <ItemTemplate> repeater

I have this source code:

<div id = "AddComment">
    <asp:TextBox ID="txtComment" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" Height="20"></asp:TextBox>
    <asp:Button ID="btnComment" CommandName="btnComment_click"  runat="server" Text="Comment" />                           
</div>

and inside the ASP element repeater element template tag ... what I want to do is make C # code for some events for these two controls .. text box and button ... how can I reach these controls from C # code?

You need to connect to OnItemDataBound

<asp:Repeater OnItemDataBound="RepeaterItemEventHandler" ... />

Now, by the code behind ....

  void RepeaterItemEventHandler(Object Sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e) {
     if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem) {
        TextBox currentTextBox = (TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("txtComment");
        //do something cool 
     }
  }
