i write a function to find a control in formview:

#region       
        protected Control GetControlOfFormView(FormView fv, string strControlID)
        {
            Control ctl = new Control();
            FormViewRow fvr = fv.Row;
            TableCell tc = new TableCell();
            Control CellCtl = new Control();
            int nCell,nCellCtl;
            int j, k;
            nCell = fvr.Cells.Count;
            for (j = 0; j < nCell; j++)
            {
                tc = fvr.Cells[j];
                nCellCtl = tc.Controls.Count;
                for (k = 0; k < nCellCtl; k++)
                {
                    CellCtl = tc.Controls[k];
                    ctl = CellCtl.FindControl(strControlID);
                    if (ctl != null)
                    {
                        k = nCellCtl;
                        j = nCell;
                    }
                }
            }
            return ctl;
        }
        #endregion

use it :

protected void FormView1_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   DataRowView row = (DataRowView)FormView1.DataItem;
   TextBox tb = null;

   tb = (TextBox)GetControlOfFormView(FormView1, "textbox");
   tb.Text = row["Bsf_FormID"].ToString();
}

Solution 1

The sender is nothing but the Formview control it self just loop through the items and get the text box

Solution 4

Check this code

VB

Dim frm As FormView = sender
       If (frm.DataItem IsNot Nothing) Then
           Dim txt As TextBox = frm.Controls.Item(0).FindControl("TextBox1")
           txt.Text = "Test" & frm.DataItemIndex
       End If

kumardevarapalli,thank you for your help.

it's wrong :

VB

Dim txt As TextBox = frm.Controls.Item(0).FindControl("TextBox1")

err message:

VB

System.Web.UI.ControlCollection' does not contain a definition for 'Item' and no extension method 'Item' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.UI.ControlCollection' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

need your help ,thanks
