can't place label in datalist

Hi,

Are datalists able to have labels inside of the ItemTemplate? Every time I
try to place a label in the Item Template it does not show up in the code
behind/intellisense. FYI the datalist contains items that can be placed in
shopping cart. I want the label to notify the user that the placement of the
item into the shopping was successful.

Thanks,

Andy

Hi
You can have pretty much any server controls in the itemtemplate.
Datalist items are created dynamically when the datalist is created, which
is why it's not added to the code behind.

You can use the onitemdatabound event to manipulate the server controls.
for example, you can use
Label mylbl = (Label)e.Item.F indControl("lbl _id");
mylbl.Text = "your text";

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="myListEditHandler" onUpdateCommand="myListUpdateHandler" onCancelCommand="myListCancelHandler" onDeleteCommand="myListDeleteHandler" DataKeyField="ID"> <ItemTemplate>

I have a datagrid control within a datalist control. When I try and do a "Find" on the control, the object comes back with nothing and then my pgm crashes. I am 100% sure that my datagird inside my datalist has an id of "Datagrid3". dgChild comes back with "Nothing" while debugging. Here is my code in the itemdatabound event for the datalist: <code>

I want to set the text value of a label that is within a datalist in the codebehind. Does this have to be done in the databound event? Simplified example: <asp:DataList id="dlItem" runat="server"> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Label ID="lblItemPrice" runat="server" /> </ItemTemplate> </asp:DataList>

I have a label control that I've embedded in a datalist template. I will be binding data to that label.

One of the columns in a SQL Server 2005 DB table is named 'OrderDate' which stores the date & time on which an order has been placed. Since the 'OrderDate' of a particular order will be the same, I want to display the 'OrderDate' in a Label control & the rest of the records should be displayed in a DataList.
