Can't access controls programmaticall y when they are in a FormView control

Hello,

I have a FormView control that has a CheckBoxList in the Item
template...

I wrote this code to access a CheckBoxList in a FormView template...

dim foo as checkboxlist
foo = Me.fvVehicle.Fi ndControl("cblS afety")
foo.items(0).se lected = true

This code does not set the check box in the cbl. No errors, but nothing
happens.

If the checkBoxList is moved out of the the FormView control, then this
works fine:

cblSafety.Items (0).selected = true

But I can't refernence the cbl control by name if it's in the FormView.
Therefore this approach will not work at all.

I also tried it by ID and it didn't work either...
dim foo as Integer
foo = me.fvVehicle.Fi ndControl("cblS afety").ID
dim bar as CheckBoxList
bar = me.FindControl( foo)
bar.Items(0).Se lected = True
Any thoughts?

Hi, I am trying to use the ASP.NET 2.0 FormView as a method to enter data into my business object. At the moment, I am trying to do this without a custom DataSourceView control, but I can't seem to get it working. I have this code in my Page_Load method (unconditionally, i.e. outside of ans "if !IsPostBack" blocks): ctlView.DataSource = currentAccount.GetAccounts();

Hi! I am new to .net (vb) and moving from classic asp. I ran into a problem that has left me with less hair on my head. For some reason, my button and calendar that sits inside an insertItemTemplate in a FormView, will not allow me to declare it. The controls (Calendar1, InvoiceDate) are in the page and names are correct. Here is the sub I am using.

Can I put a repeater inside a FormView? Can I put a repeater inside that repeater? If so, what happens when the FormView.Mode is "Edit?" When they click the EDIT button is my repeater data also saved? Or do I have to code that manually? Thanks in advance, Scott

hello, i am trying to access controls inside my formview1 nested inside loginview1. you cannot access the formview1 unless you are properly logged in. for loginview1, that seems to be fairly simple. a label control would be: Label label1 = (Label)loginview1.FindControl("nameoflabel"); then i get to the data that was bound to that control.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
