Set Values on child controls on a formview

[PW]

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.

I suggest that you used template items in your FormView, then rename the
controls in your FormView.
In your Code behind, use FindControl Method of your FromView to get your
specific controls that you have renamed, and then do your work.

Thanks Muhammad,

I'm already doing that and finding that it's not adequate.

For example using findcontrol doesn't seem to work with the .visible setting.

I can't seem to find any good info on how to change a textbox for example.
