how to access from code-behind a label into CreateUserWizard control?

[Ben]

Hi,

i have some problem to access from code-behind a label nested into a
CreateWizard control. I use a html-table for align purpose only.
I try to change the text property of the label with ID="UserNameLabel".

<asp:CreateUserWizard ID="CreateUserWizard1" runat="server">
<WizardSteps>
<asp:CreateUserWizardStep runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<table border="0">
<tr><td>Make a new account</td></tr>
<tr><td><asp:Label ID="UserNameLabel"
runat="server">Username:</asp:Label></td>
<td><asp:TextBox ID="UserName"
runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="UserNameRequired"
runat="server">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</td></tr>
</table>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:CreateUserWizardStep>
</WizardSteps>
</asp:CreateUserWizard>
My attempt:
----------
Dim lb As New Label
lb = CreateUserWizard1.WizardSteps.Item(4)
(I also tried with Item(0) till 6).

Thanks for help
Ben

You might try something like this...

Dim mpUserNameLabel As Label

mpUserNameLabel = CType(usrWelcome.FindControl("UserName"), Label)

If Not mpUserNameLabel Is Nothing Then
mpUserNameLabel.Text = CType(Session("UserName"), String)
End If

usrWelcome is a User Control that I put together that has labels in it.

I tried this:

lb = CType(CreateUserWizard1.FindControl("UserNameLabel "), Label)
lb.Text = "ok"

but i get an error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

And you're sure that the IDof your Wizard Control is 'CreateUserWizard1' and
the ID or your label is 'UserNameLabel'?
