problem with accessing control created dynamically

[imranabdulaziz]

Dear All,

I am using asp.net2.0, C#, sql2005 using Visual studio 2005

Let Me explain the scenario I have checkboxlist containg 15 field. Based on no of checked field . I created dropdownlistbox and label dynamically through loop and assign id as dropdownlist + no of iteration. Now my question is how I access these control as when I am accessing one of the control I am getting nullobjectreference error stating “Object reference not set to an instance of an object.”
I created control as

Foreach(listitem)
{

//…….
Label label = new Label();
DropDownList dropdownlist = new DropDownList();
//assinging id
label.ID = "label" + i.ToString() ;
dropdownlist.ID = "dropdownlist" + i.ToString() ;

}
And I am accessing it through

cmd.Parameters.Add("@para1", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = Page.FindControl("label1").ToString() ;
cmd.Parameters.Add("@value1", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = Page.FindControl("dropdownlist1").ToString();

and my second question is how do i access selected value in dropdownlist1(dynamically created control) Please guide me

Thanks

What solutions have you tried? Have you considered a hidden frame that is visible once the button is clicked, then disposed of when no longer needed?

You need to cast the found control to the proper type.

((DropDownList)Page.FindControl("MyDropDownList"))
