I have the following string from one of the controls, inside gridview,
inside a control, inside a repeater item.
rptBorrower_ctl00_ctlAuthorizedSigners_gvAuthorizedSigners_ctl04_

The control was a button, but I stripped off the name of that button
and would like to FindControl a textbox that I know is on the same
line of that grid as the button, so it's prefix will be the same.
Do I have to go FindControl the repeater, and then the custom control,
and then the gridview within that control before I can finally
FindControl the textbox? Is there an easier way to do this?

yes, there is a simplified way to do this.
find the control recursively:

but use this method carefull, otherwise it could cost a bit of performance.
