so why you are not setting it at codebehind itself ? just try this,

lnb.ForeColor = Color.Red

it's not possible because it's in a repeater...

first of all, thanks for your responses, the code: <asp:Repeater ID="rpt1" runat="server" DataSource="<%#airplanes %>"> <ItemTemplate> <asp:LinkButton ID="lnb1" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("Type")' %> %>' ForeColor='<%=textColor %>' /> </ItemTemplate> </asp:Repeater>

i think still u can do it with the help of ItemDataBound Event. Just handle the ItemDataBound Event. In that handler, find out the control via e.Item.FindControl("lnb1") and then set the color as u wish.
