I populate web form with dynamic list of exams from database. I want user to enter examination marks for each exam. There is list of exam titles and textbox near each title.

I create list with repeater control:

<asp:Repeater ID="rptExams" runat="server" onitemdatabound="rptExams_ItemDataBound" >    
        <ItemTemplate>        
                <tr>
                    <td>                        
                        <asp:Literal runat="server" ID="ltTitle"/>
                    </td>
                    <td>
                        <asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="hfId"/>
                        <asp:Textbox runat="server" ID="tbMark"/>
                    </td>
                </tr>
        </ItemTemplate>    
    </asp:Repeater>

And bind data to repeater on page_init:

class Exam
{
    public int Id { get; set;}
    public string Title { get; set;}
}
...
// this list is retrieved from database actually 
Exam[] Exams = new Exam[]
{
    new Exam { Id = 1, Title = "Math"},
    new Exam { Id = 2, Title = "History"}                                        
};
...
protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    rptExams.DataSource = Exams;
    rptExams.DataBind();
}

So far so good. Then I have to retrieve data on postback. I have two ways but both of them looks ugly. Idea is to store dynamically created databounded controls on ItemDataBoundEvent in Page_Init stage, and process their values in Page_Load stage. It looks like this:

private Dictionary<HiddenField, TextBox> Id2Mark = new Dictionary<HiddenField, TextBox>();

protected void rptExams_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
    ...
    if (IsPostBack)
    {
        var tbMark = (TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("tbMark");
        var hfId = (HiddenField)e.Item.FindControl("hfId");

        // store dynamically created controls 
        Id2Mark.Add(hfId, tbMark);
    } 
    ...    
}

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (IsPostBack)
    {
        foreach (var pair in Id2Mark)
        {
            int examId = Int32.Parse(pair.Key.Value);
            string mark = pair.Value.Text;
            // PROCESS 
        }
...

I'm completely sure there is a better way to retrieve data from dynamically created controls. Thank you in advance!
