I have a situation where I need to dynamically disable certain controls. I will not be knowing the type of control. I tried to use FindControl(""), but this does not have the "Enabled" property, it only has "Visible" property.
Kindly let me know how this can be done.
I add a select control to a ASPX page like below:
hgc = new HtmlGenericControl();
hgc.InnerHtml = @"<select runat='server' id='my_selectlist'>
<option value='volvo'>Volvo</option>
<option value='saab'>Saab</option>
<option value='mercedes'>Mercedes</option>
<option value='audi'>Audi</option>
</select>";
Then in a Button click event, I use the code below, try to get the value selected
HtmlSelect s = (HtmlSelect)hgc.FindControl("my_selectlist");
label.Text = s.Value;
I get a error:"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."Does anyone try it before?
I got problem finding the Control ID in my ASP.NET page.
When I try to refer that ID, it always give me:
I am trying to refer this:
[Code]....
I pass this id from here:
[Code]....
This is my code behind which is driving me crazy :(

When I use label to display the STRING INTIME, IT GIVES ME "textboxCashier1In"

How do we code "findcontrol" with a third party control? I tried "TextBox" for Namespace="FreeTextBoxControls" Assembly="FreeTextBox" and it threw an error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Here is the offending line:
Dim Body As String = Convert.ToString(CType(lsvBlocks.InsertItem.FindControl("FreeTextBox"), TextBox).Text)
I have a literal8 inside panel1 and panel1 inside datalist1 ..
i wanna insert the value in literal1 on page load event using query string ...
ERROR on Page Load : Object reference is not set to the instance of an object
how to make this code workin ?
Protected Sub Page_PreInit(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.PreInit
Dim lit8 As Literal = DirectCast(DataList1.FindControl("Literal8"), Literal)
lit8.Text = Me.Request.QueryString("room")
End Sub
How can I access to the CancelPushButton ?
This doesn't work ! it returns always null !!

I use the following method to find a control on an asp.net page recursively:
/// <summary>
/// Searches recursively for a server control with the specified id parameter.
/// </summary>[code]...
I hit a problem because it was returning the wrong control. I tracked the problem down to the standard FindControl method, and fixed it by checking that the id of the control returned did actually match the one requested like this:
foundControl = start.FindControl(id);
if (foundControl != null && foundControl.ID == id)
return foundControl;
My question is why does start.FindControl(id) ever return a control that does not match the id requested?
Consider the following code, adding 2 textboxes with the same ID (oops):
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string TextBoxName = "TextBox1";
Panel p = new Panel();
TextBox t = new TextBox();
t.ID = TextBoxName;
p.Controls.Add(t);
if (p.FindControl(TextBoxName) == null) // <-------*******
{
TextBox t2 = new TextBox();
t2.ID = TextBoxName;
p.Controls.Add(t2);
}
Page.Form.Controls.Add(p);
}
The code is designed to stop adding the same ID twice. However, the Panel.FindControl() method is not finding a control that was added in the previous line of code.
Am I using this in the wrong way?
I mean - sure - I could manually iterate through the controls in the next level, like:
string TextBoxName = "TextBox1";
Panel p = new Panel();
TextBox t = new TextBox();
t.ID = TextBoxName;
p.Controls.Add(t);
TextBox t2 = new TextBox();
t2.ID = TextBoxName;
bool duplicateFound = false;
foreach( Control c in p.Controls )
{
if(c.ID == TextBoxName)
{
duplicateFound = true;
break;
}
}
if( duplicateFound )
{
t2.ID = TextBoxName + "__0";
p.Controls.Add(t2);
}
But I don't understand why this isn't working, whereas Placeholder controls and UserControls work fine.
The reason I am using Panels is for CSS styling. body > div > input - but still - it isn't working.
I have a PlaceHolder control inside of a ListView that I am using to render controls from my code behind. The code below adds the controls:
TextBox tb = new TextBox();
tb.Text = quest.Value;
tb.ID = quest.ShortName.Replace(" ", "");
((PlaceHolder)e.Item.FindControl("ph_QuestionInput")).Controls.Add(tb);
I am using the following code to retrieve the values that have been entered into the TextBox:
foreach (ListViewDataItem di in lv_Questions.Items)
{
int QuestionId = Convert.ToInt32(((HiddenField)di.FindControl("hf_QuestionId")).Value);
Question quest = dc.Questions.Single(q => q.QuestionId == QuestionId);
TextBox tb = ((TextBox)di.FindControl(quest.ShortName.Replace(" ","")));
//tb is always null!
}
But it never finds the control. I've looked at the source code for the page and the control i want has the id:
ctl00_cphContentMiddle_lv_Questions_ctrl0_Numberofacres
For some reason when I look at the controls in the ListViewDataItem it has the ClientID:
ctl00_cphContentMiddle_lv_Questions_ctrl0_ctl00
Why would it be changing Numberofacres to ctl00? Is there any way to work around this?
UPDATE:
Just to clarify, I am databinding my ListView in the Page_Init event. I then create the controls in the ItemBound event for my ListView. But based on what @Womp and MSDN are saying the controls won't actually be created until after the Load event (which is after the Page_Init event) and therefore are not in ViewState? Does this sound correct?
If so am I just SOL when it comes to retrieving the values in my dynamic controls from my OnClick event?
UPDATE 2:
So i changed the code i had in my Page_Init event from:
protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!this.IsPostBack)
{
//databind lv_Questions
}
}
to:
protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//databind lv_Questions
}
And it fixed my problem. Still a little confused as to why I want to databind regardless of whether it's a postback or not but the issue is resolved.
So all I want to do is simply find a user control I load based on a drop down selection. I have the user control added but now I'm trying to find the control so I can access a couple properties off of it and I can't find the control for the life of me. I'm actually doing all of this in the master page and there is no code in the default.aspx page itself.
MasterPage.aspx
[Code]....
MasterPage.cs
protected void goToSelectedPage(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
temp1 ct = this.Page.Master.LoadControl("temp1.ascx") as temp1;
ct.ID = "TestMe";
this.UpdatePanel1.ContentTemplateContainer.Controls.Add(ct);
}
//This is where I CANNOT SEEM TO FIND THE CONTROL ////////////////////////////////////////
protected void lnkSave_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
UpdatePanel teest = this.FindControl("UpdatePanel1") as UpdatePanel;
Control test2 = teest.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("ctl09") as Control;
temp1 test3 = test2.FindControl("TestMe") as temp1;
string maybe = test3.Col1TopTitle;
}
Here I don't understand what it's telling me. for "par" I get "ctl09" and I have no idea how I am supposed to find this control. temp1.ascx.cs
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string ppp = this.ID;
string par = this.Parent.ID;
}
I have a form with a basic FormView control. The FormView is set to Edit mode by default with only two textboxes and one button. I am populating the FormView using a Datatable from the code behind generated from a SQL Stored Procedure.
The data fills the FormView just fine. I am attempting to update the data using a SQL Stored Procedure by getting the values from the textboxes in the FormView on button click Everything seems to work and I recieve no errors, however the values I type into the textboxes is not passed to the stored procedure so eventhough there are no errors the data is not updated.
I know that the issue is not my stored procedure becasue if I use static values for the parameters in the code behind, the values are updated by the stored procedure.
I placed two plain textboxes and a button on the ASPX form and create a button click event for that button using the same code I use for the butten click event in the formview. When I add values to the non-databound textboxes, the data is updated correctly.
The question is, why can I not get the updated/changed values from textboxes in the FormView control?
Here is my ASPX code:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object. when I try to access these dynamically created controls using FindControl.
I have a dynamically created control within a table cell. The table itself is contained within a page that has a master page. I've tried so many different ways to access this control.
Below is the latest iteration
AttrTable is the asp table, and row.Attr_Type is the name I've given to the control (it iterates through a datatable to set the names for the control)
tmpVal = CType(AttrTable.FindControl("TD_" & row.Attr_Type).FindControl(row.Attr_Type), DropDownList).Text
Below are various ways I've tried to access the control:
Dim form As Control = Page.Master.FindControl("form1")
Dim content1 = form.FindControl("ContentPlaceHolder1")
