Trying to find ClientID of web form - Update

[Neo Geshel]

This works:

<form>
<asp:TextBox id="name" />
<%= name.ClientID %>
</form>

But this DOES NOT work:

<form>
<datagrid id="dg">
<asp:TextBox id="name" />
<%= name.ClientID %>
</datagrid>
</form>

and throws an error of:
Compilation Error
Compiler Error Message: BC30451: Name 'name' is not declared.

Any ida why???

TIA

Perhaps I got a little rough with him

You sure did, and undeservedly, I'll add.

re:

I'm not an idiot

You sure acted like one.

I have an idea.

The rest of us dont care who called who what - Can we just stop it please? These are technical
groups. If you guys really want to duke it out, Im sure email would suffice or some other
newsgroup.

Perhaps a sense of what's fair should enter into
technical discussions on occasion, Chad.

If you know me, you know that I *never* enter into
discussions other than technical ones, but this was
just not the way to be greeted on a fine Sunday morning.

I didn't deserve that. Period.

Juan,

I did not like it at all what you wrote in your message before this one.
However I think that it is better to follow the advice from Kudzu.

(When you want to know what I did not like. You are in my opinion feeding in
that an anti MVP behaviour. There is in my opinion no need for that).

I'm going to post my last comment on this thread.

re:

(When you want to know what I did not like. You are in my opinion feeding in that an
anti MVP behaviour. There is in my opinion no need for that).
Cor,

Look at his very first post to this thread :

---000---
"About 25+ web sites I visited recommend..."

"why did the other 25+ MVP's (who recommended this method)
also get it wrong?"

As a hint, here are a few URL's where it gives the exact method that
fails for me:
http://www.syncfusion.com/FAQ/aspnet/WEB_c5c.aspx (#28.10, link doesn't
work)
http://www.startvbdotnet.com/aspsite...s/default.aspx
http://www.thecodeproject.com/aspnet...in_asp_net.asp
http://youngpup.net/2004/distro (second scrollbox)
http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet...t&x-order=date
---000---

That is, clearly, an attempt to smear MVPs by
claiming that the advice we give is "wrong".

Now, check to see exactly how many of the sites he posted
links to are run by MVPs. I'll save you the trouble : exactly none!

His response to that ? "Okay, so I exaggerate a little."

Then, his next comment is : "As an MVP, you should have known this.",
trying -again- to smear MVPs in the worst possible way by implying
that I, an MVP, should have known about code problems in code that
he had not posted yet.

Then, he erupts with : "I hope you don't mind putting
your big mouth where your (probably even bigger) ego"

To finalize, he spits this : "I might not be an MVP,
but that's no reason to treat me like a simpleton."

Those quotes reveal a tendency to smear MVPs, and while I've seen
comments like those come and go, these were the last straw for me.

Cor, *nobody* has treated him like a simpleton. I certainly didn't.

I offered an explanation. If he felt it was too simple an explanation,
pointing that out would have sufficed, without the need to repeatedly
smear neither me nor my fellow MVPs.

So, that's it. This is my last comment.

I'm off to try to mend my nice summer sunday.
It's such a beautiful sunny day, too !

Neo,

Juan does not know you. He tried to help you. I really don't know what that
has to do with that he is awarded as MVP or the way you find that he threats
you.

You need an answer and in the way you write now, you will probably never get
it from a newsgroup.

This is the last time I give you this advice any reply on this will not be
answered by me.

Please keep that out of this discussion.

You already started this thread by claiming that you had
checked "25+ MVP sites" when -actually- *none* of the
sites you linked to are MVP sites.

So, this is the *second* time in this thread that you are unfair to MVPs.

You have some sort of "MVPness envy" and lashed out angrily
at me imagining an attitude that only exists in your mind as a
way to compensate for your having a hard time with some code.

Fine. Allow me to amend that sentence to, "I might not be *at the skill
level of* an MVP..."

I have nothing against MVP's. My first mention was that I had gone to
many, many sites, a number of whom had articles from MVP's. Probably a
badly worded statement, mea culpa. The second mention was to point out
that I am not close your skill level yet, but I'm also nowhere near a
beginner's level. I know the basics well enough.

I would also like to make a partial apology. While I don't believe I
overreacted, I do believe that my reply was a bit too much of a personal
attack. To use a metaphor, I lunged when I should have parried. For
that, I apologise about the "big mouth" and "ego" statements.

I dont think I posted this to this thread yet, if I did I apologize for the duplication. But I feel its very
appropriate:

Apology accepted.

It takes a good man to recognize a mistake and amend it.

I hope that others don't continue to post to this thread,
and that it dies peacefully, except for a possible answer
to your code problem.

Now, I'm *really* off to enjoy the last of today's sunshine.

The code, <%= name.ClientID %>, won't work since TextBox.name is a child of a
some DataGrid child. It will not have the "name" id but the "ClientID".
However, I tried he following:

....
<%= (dg.FindControl ("name") as TextBox).Client ID %>
....

This compiled and ran successfully. However, the ClientID did not appear in
the TextBox!

Perhaps, you can not get the ClientID inside of the DataGrid! I was able to
get the ClientiD after the DataGrid code but not inside of the the DataGrid
with the code:

<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<asp:DataGrid id=DataGrid1 style="Z-INDEX: 101; LEFT: 80px; POSITION:
absolute; TOP: 80px" runat="server" DataSource="<%# dataSet11 %>"
DataMember="use rs" AutoGenerateCol umns="False">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundColum n DataField="name " SortExpression= "name"
HeaderText="Nam e"></asp:BoundColumn >
<asp:TemplateCo lumn HeaderText="Cli entId">
<ItemTemplate >
<asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" runat="server"> <%=
(DataGrid1.Item s[0].FindControl("T extBox1") as TextBox).Client ID
%></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateCol umn>
</Columns>
</asp:DataGrid>
</form>
<div><%= (DataGrid1.Item s[0].FindControl("T extBox1") as TextBox).Client ID
%></div>
