                                Text='<%#SiteMap.RootNode.Title%>'></asp:HyperLink></li>                        
                        </HeaderTemplate>
                        <ItemTemplate>
                            <li><asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%#Eval("Url")%>' Text='<%#Eval("Title")%>'></asp:HyperLink></li>
                        </ItemTemplate>
                        </asp:Repeater>

Are you verifying which type of repeater item you are looking at ?

Attach an ItemDataBound to your repeater and do something like this :

private void rptPanier_ItemDataBound(Object sender , RepeaterItemEventArgs e) 
{
    if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Header)
    {
      var myItem = (Hyperlink)e.Item.FindControl("YourControlName");
    }
}

Then you will have a reference on it and you can do whatever you want ! Beware tho, the ItemData item, which can be found in the repeateritemeventargs, is always null when the repeater is creating the header.

Hope this helps !

The repeater has a collection of Items. Each Item is a RepeaterItem, which has an ItemType property. For header items, this value will be "ListItemType.Header". Therefore, you want to perform .FindControl() upon that particular repeater item, not the entire Repeater itself.
