asp.net repeater

[Howard]

I need to do 2 things with the repeater control

1- in the html output give a unique template(color, font size) to the first
item (not alternate) and only the first.
The datasource of the repeater is an objectdatasource from a business object
that returns a generic list
<myItem> results

2. Set a property of the first item as the html page.title.
//psudo code
Page.Title = objDataSource1.firstItem.Name;

Thanks for your help

How about hooking into the ObjectDataSource.ObjectCreated event?
in it you could write sth like this:

BusinessObjectCollection o = e.ObjectInstanceCollection as
BusinessObjectCollection;
if ((o != null) && (o.Count > 0))
{
Page.Title = o[0].PropertyName;
}

Sorry, forgot about issue no.1
You can hook into the Repeater.ItemDataBound event and check whether the
item being bound is a) a ListItem and b) the first one. If yes, assign the
control in your repeateritem that encapsulates the content a cssclass that
specifies both the color and font size.
