hi, its pretty simple and i dont think there is any articles online to
showcase this. I am pasting a simple test with 1 user control( that contains
a single textbox, whose text property is populated from the repeaters
databound datasource). The user control is contained within the repeaters
ItemTemplate. Also look up this reference on msdn since the example code
might help you :

Yes it can. Alessandro pointed out an example, I have a one blog post where
user control is used as a loadable template (not inside <ItemTemplate>) but
it proves the same point
