can't set text for label within datalist

[Dude]

Below is the code - it is finding the control, and there is no error,
just not assigning the text to the label

<asp:DataList id="dlGoals" runat="server"
onEditCommand=" myListEditHandl er"
onUpdateCommand ="myListUpdateH andler"
onCancelCommand ="myListCancelH andler"
onDeleteCommand ="myListDeleteH andler"
DataKeyField="I D">
<ItemTemplate >
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" >
<tr valign="top">
<td><asp:ImageB utton runat="server" commandname="ed it"
ImageUrl="/stap/images/arrow.jpg"
ID="Imagebutton 1"></asp:ImageButton ></td>
<td colspan="2"><as p:label id="LabelGoals "
runat="server"> </asp:label>
<asp:label id="Label1" runat="server"> <%# DataBinder.Eval
(Container.Data Item, "description")% ></asp:label></td></tr></table>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>

Label lblLabel = ((Label) e.Item.FindCont rol("LabelGoals "));
Trace.Write ("Target Label: " + lblLabel.Client ID);
lblLabel.Text = "dude";

Write
<asp:label id="Label1" runat="server" text=<%# DataBinder.Eval
(Container.Data Item, "description")% >></asp:label>
Assign value to the Text Property of the Label

Ya Marina thanks for pointing

Where and which event are you writing the code
Label lblLabel = ((Label) e.Item.FindCont rol("LabelGoals "));

Trace.Write ("Target Label: " + lblLabel.Client ID);
lblLabel.Text = "dude"; "Marina" <zl*******@nosp am.hotmail.com> wrote in message news:#Q******** ******@TK2MSFTN GP12.phx.gbl...
That's not really necessary - I have done it the other way, and it works just fine.

However, I believe the poster was referring to the LabelGoals label, not Label1.

[Dude]

As included in the code, I need to set the text of the "LabelGoals "
label. Should I need to do it from the init section?
