Hello Mr. SweatyFinger,

The reason is that you can't get the control while you are not in the template
mode
As soon you EditItemTemplate will be active findcontrol returns you your
control

Step 1: Get an ASP.NET book, read and learn
Step 2: Learn to solve own problems with out being a baby and crying when
you cant solve a simple problem, if you cant solve it still at that point
then ask, don't run around calling people idiots because you didn't post
detailed enough information that it takes people a while to figure out what
the heck you were trying to ask...
Step 3: grow up
