Find Control

[erics55]

Hi
I want to change the text property of a control. I need to do this in VB code and i do not know the name of the control until runtime. I am trying to use the find control function but I am not having any luck.

Can anyone help?

Make sure you are using the correct parent element when using the FindControl method. Then, step your your code and you should see if you are doing this correctly.

ctrl = CType(Page.FindControl("lblWK1Mon"), Label)

this is the code I am using

I know for certain that there is a control called lblWK1Mon but this does not pick it up. Is the Page part not correct?

Thanks

As I said above, that may not be the control's correct parent. You'll have to step through your code to confirm if this is the case or not.

Hi Sorry to be a pain but I wouldnt know how to go about finding what the corrct parent would be. I have stepped through the code and it just sayd ctrl = nothing so it looks like Page isnt the correct parent
