Answer 1

Both of the controls you mention have the autopostback property set to false as default. I can not see that you set autopostback to true in your code. So if you are not doing that in your markup either, be sure to set that property and your selectindexchanged should be triggered.

Answer 2

You could try to handle the event "ItemDataBound" of the repeater. In the EventHandler you can get the control with e.Item.FindControl("ControlID") and then attache your event here.
