You can put a label on the page, along with an ID, you should be able
to reference it from anywhere, whether it's inside or outside of the
datalist. For example:
<asp:Label ID="theLabel" runat="server" Text="This is the label"
Visible="false"/>
<asp:DataList ID="theDataList" runat="server" ... />
If you are trying to create a label at runtime (though I don't know why
you would; you could just make it not visible until you need it), put a
placeholder where you want the label, and add the label to the
placeholder at runtime. For example:
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="thePlaceHolder" runat="server"/>
<asp:DataList ID="theDataList" runat="server" ... />
Or am I misunderstanding?
