Datalist

[brian]

I have a datalist bound to a dataset using SQL server
2000.

There is 1 button in the datalist and the buttons text
property is bound in the databinding properties.

How can I find the text of the button in the code behind?

I have tried e.item.findcontrol("txtName", Button).text
but get an error saying "button is a type and can't be
used as an expression"

I have also tried using CTYPE.

Currently it is being assigned to a string datatype but I
have also tried assigning it to a control type.

Thanks for any suggestions

Thanks but I figured it out. I had the wrong format for
findcontrol. It should have been e.item.findcontrol
("txtName"), button).text. I didn't have the ')' at the
end of "txtName".

Once again thanks for all the support this group has
given me.
