I'm trying to use FindCrontrol and it will not work. Here is the code:
Dim DisplayPanel As Panel
DisplayPanel = CType(FindContr ol("pnlName"), Panel)
No matter how I do it - I've tried Me.FindControl, Page.FindContro l,
just plain FindControl the DisplayPanel variable is always Nothing
after the code execute. The panel does exist with the name "pnlName"
and I can use that just fine in code. If I break the code, the Parent
that is given for the panel is "Content1", but I can't reference
Content1 in the code.
I've tried other controls of different types and I get the same thing
every time. What am I missing?

Dim c As System.Web.UI.C ontrol
Dim ctlToFind As Panel
c = Me.Parent
While ctlToFind Is Nothing
ctlToFind = CType(c.FindCon trol("pnlName") , Panel)
c = c.Parent
End While
FindControl only works on the immediate Controls inside a Coontrol. Controls
are nested inside other Controls, so you need to use recursion to find the
Control if you don't know the exact Control it is immediately inside.

Thanks, but that doesn't work because Me.Parent is nothing. This is in
the page_load event and the panel is on the page itself, not contained
in another control, if that makes a difference.

Thanks, but this doesn't help me. The control I'm looking for isn't
inside any other control - it's on the page itself. If I look in the
locals window when I break into the code, the parent is listed as
"Content1" as I said. There isn't any control called "Content1" that I
can reference.
e.Item.FindCont rol
"e" is the name of the DataGrid's event argument.
"Item" refers to the current row within the DataGrid.

I'm not using a datagrid. The control I want to find is directly on
the page. It is not contained in a datagrid, formview, or any other
control. I want to do this in the page_load event.
In fact, the WebForm is inside the Page, which is also a Control.

The Control must be inside the WebForm, which is a Control.

I have seen the following behavior: when issuing a Page.FindControl() for a
control which exists in an item template (from within an ItemDataBound()
event, for example), I get nulls back regularly. Has anyone seen this
before? It's pretty aggravating to have to iterate through the controls in
each grid cell to find the ones I need, especially since finding those cells
is not always easy. Here's my ItemDataBound() handler:
