Question

Find control doesn’t seem to work with my dynamic check boxes; what i am trying to do is see if a user has checked a check box, eventually which ones as well.

In my code i have a test to see if it is working properly

 public void test()
{
    // Find control on page.
    CheckBox myControl1 = (CheckBox)Table1.FindControl("CBX0");
    if (myControl1 != null)
    {
        // Get control's parent.
        Control myControl2 = myControl1.Parent;
        Response.Write("Parent of the text box is : " + myControl2.ID);
        if (myControl1.Checked == true)
        {
            Response.Write("check box checked");
        }
    }
    else
    {
        Response.Write("Control not found");
    }
}

when i run my code it does print “parent of the text box is”, however it will not print the parent, which is supposed to be mycontrol2.id

Answer 1

Perhaps the parent control doesn’t have an ID.

Instead try:

Response.Write("Parent of the text box is : " + myControl2);

to find out the type of the Parent. I think if you’re expecting the parent to be the Table you’re wrong. It will probably be a TableCell.
