can't find controls in datalist

[bill yeager]

I have a radiobuttonlist inside a datalist. I also have a
datagrid inside the datalist. The data and the controls
are rendering just fine. However, I need to find these
controls inside the datalist in order to programatically
perform some logic.

I have the following in my HTML which is inside the
ItemTemplate of the datalist:
<asp:RadioButto nList id="Radiobutton list" runat="server"
OnSelectedIndex Changed="rblRad ioButtonList_Se lectedIndexCh
anged"
RepeatDirection ="Horizontal " AutoPostBack="T rue">
<asp:ListItem Value="1">Waive All
Conditions</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="0">Don't Waive Any
Conditions</asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButton List>


I have an event set up which comes into the following
code-behind handler with the debugger after I click one
of the radio buttons.
Protected WithEvents RadioButtonList Hdr As RadioButtonList

..

..

..

Public Sub rblRadioButtonL ist_SelectedInd exChanged(ByVal
sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles
RadioButtonList Hdr.SelectedInd exChanged

'Capture the postback event from the
radiobuttonlist

Dim rblConditions As RadioButtonList = DirectCast
(FindControl("R adiobuttonlist" ), RadioButtonList )

Dim dgChild As DataGrid = DirectCast(Find Control
("DataGrid3" ), DataGrid)

Dim chkCondition As CheckBox = DirectCast
(FindControl("C ondition3"), CheckBox)

Dim lblLockNumber As Label = DirectCast
(FindControl("L ockNumber3"), Label)

Dim lblConditionDet ailID As Label = DirectCast
(FindControl("C onditionDetailI D3"), Label)

Dim lblLoanID As Label = DirectCast(Find Control
("LoanID3"), Label)


How come I cannot find any of the controls??? I'm very
stumped with this if someone can PLEASE help........

More simply put, how do I access child controls that
reside in the ItemTemplate section of the datalist???

There's GOT to be a way where I can access those controls
outside of the ItemDataBound event of the datalist.....
