I am trying to disable a linkbutton in side data repeater in masterpage from another page. I am trying to create list of pages in masterpage, when one of the link is clicked, it redirects user to that page. So, when the user in the page, its respective link should be disabled, which is in master page. Here are my codes:

Master page:

ASP.NET
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="CategoryMenuHolder" runat="server">
    <asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
        onitemcommand="Repeater1_ItemCommand">
        <ItemTemplate>
            <ul
                <li class="menus">
                    <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkcategory" runat="server" OnCommand="LinkButton_Command" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("catid") %>'
                        Text='<%# Eval("catname") %>' CommandName="Show" ForeColor="White"></asp:LinkButton>
            
                </li>
            </ul>
        </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:Repeater>
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>

content page
C#
ContentPlaceHolder holder = (ContentPlaceHolder)Master.FindControl("CategoryMenuHolder");
        Repeater rep = (Repeater)holder.FindControl("Repeater1");

but the repeater comes in as null!
How do I do this?
Thanks in advance :)

Repeater is a server-side control - it is not itself rendered in the HTML, just it's contents

Write following in click event of LinkButton
HTML
LinkButton.Enabled=false;

first fine the repeater resides in the master page, to get the reference of repeater control use following code
C#
Repeater rpt = (Repeater)Master.FindControl("Repeater1");

to get the object of LinkButton that resides in Repeater item use bellow code

C#
foreach (ListViewItem li in rpt.Items)
        {
           //Finds LinkButton button from Repeater
            LinkButton lkb=(LinkButton) li.FindControl("lnkcategory");
           //Disable LinkButton
            lkb.Enabled = false;
        }

I above code will be helpful to you, if this solution comes helpful to you please give rank to me
Thanks
