Referencing child controls on a formview

I want to be able to set the enabled status of certain controls on the
edititem template of a formview control based on whether a check box is
checked or not (or the value coming from the database as stored by the
sqldatasource) .

I've tried code such as:

CheckBox cb =
(CheckBox)FormV iew1.Row.FindCo ntrol("SysDefMe thod");
Button ub = (Button)FormVie w1.Row.FindCont rol("UpdateButt on");
if (cb.Checked == true)
{
ub.Enabled = false;
}

in various events (formview databound & databinding, sqldatasource
selected) but always get an "Object reference not set to an instance of
an object." exception when the "if (cb.Checked == true)" line is
executed.

The item to be displayed in the formview is chosen from a gridview. I
have no problem getting the data displayed or updated, its just that I
now want to restrict the fields that are available to the user based on
the value of SysDefMethod (it's a bit field in the database).
Thanks in advance

Does no-one have a solution for this.

I can't see anything mentioned in books or on MSDN as to how I can do
this.

I want to display a formview based on an objectdatasource. One of the things on the formview will be a link to a pdf. When I go into the edit template I would like a fileupload to display, which can be used to upload a new pdf. I would like my object to be as reusable as possible. Can anyone recommend a way of referencing the fileupload control in as flexible way as possible. The thing I would like to avoid is using my object on several...

Sorry to bother. This is somewhat related to a post I made today. But I am really stuck! Is it possible to directly reference a control within a form view? For example, is it possible to assign the text attribute of a control using a control that is databound to a db? Or, must that be done via a specific script? I created an script using a FindControl("lbl1"), Label) to update label controls after the form is submitted. What I would...

Can anyone explain why in the following code, where btnCancel1 is a Button inside the itemTemplate of the formview, the first call to change the text of the button, in the Page_Load sub, works fine, but the second call, in the bookFormView_ItemUpdated sub, throws an exception (Object reference not set to an instance of an object)? And if you know why, can you suggest a workaround? Here is the code: Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender...

hello, i am trying to access controls inside my formview1 nested inside loginview1. you cannot access the formview1 unless you are properly logged in. for loginview1, that seems to be fairly simple. a label control would be: Label label1 = (Label)loginview1.FindControl("nameoflabel"); then i get to the data that was bound to that control.

I wish to get and set values on child controls on a formview. For example. Changing the text in textbox. Hiding or unhiding child controls based on user. Replacing a blank with a default or calculated value that will need to be generated at runtime. It seems as though this should be thoroughly documented, but I'm not finding much. Thanks.

I have a FrameView control on a form. In the FrameView is a DropDownList that has as its datasource an ObjectDataSource object.

The ObjectDataSource has a parameter that is mapped to another control that is in the FarmeView. The page crashes at run time because the control mapped to the parameter can't be found by the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
