Can you post your entire code

Usually when you see this error it's because that control is not available at that time.

For instance say you have specified that the TextBox is to be shown while the user is editing....

The user is not editing, and clicks a button....in the button click event you try to access the TextBox.

But there is no TextBox to access because the user isn't editing!

See what I'm getting at?
