RadioButtonList in DataList EditItemTemplat e

[Sudheer Aalla]

Hi,

When I try to reference the radiobuttonlist control in edititemtemplat e in
ItemDataBound event of datalist control I am getting NULL reference. I am
trying to pre select the yes/no button depending on the label text in item
template. But I am able to get the value of lable control which is in
itemtemplate. Is there anything else I am missing here???

public void DataListItems_I temDataBound(ob ject sender, DataListItemEve ntArgs
e)

{

if (DataListItems. EditItemIndex != -1 && e.Item.ItemInde x != -1 &&
e.Item.HasContr ols())

{

Label rbllblIsAdded = (Label)e.Item.F indControl("lbl IsAdded");

RadioButtonList rbl =
(RadioButtonLis t)e.Item.FindCo ntrol("edtrblIs Added");

if (rbllblIsAdded. Text == "Added")

{

rbl.SelectedVal ue = "Yes";

}

else

{

rbl.SelectedVal ue = "No";

}

}

}

<EditItemTempla te>

<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="height:1 00%;">

<tr>

<td width="10%">

<asp:RadioButto nList ID="edtrblIsAdd ed" RepeatDirection ="Horizontal "
runat="server">

<asp:ListItem Value="Yes">A</asp:ListItem>

<asp:ListItem Value="No">R</asp:ListItem>

</asp:RadioButton List>

<asp:RequiredFi eldValidator ID="RFVedtrblIs Added" runat="server"
ErrorMessage="P lease select added/removed"

ControlToValida te="edtrblIsAdd ed" ValidationGroup ="UpdateValidat ionControls"
ToolTip="Please select added/removed">*</asp:RequiredFie ldValidator>
</td>

Thanks,

Sudheer.
