Question

n ASP.NET how do I find the Control ID of a TextBox that is nested within a DetailsView which is then nested in an AJAX UpdatePanel control ?

The heirachy is: UpdatePanel1 -> dvContentDetail (DetailsView Control) -> TextBox2

I have tried something like the following but just says that the object isn’t found:

UpdatePanel1.FindControl("dvContentDetail").FindControl("TextBox2").ClientID

There is no need to find control from updatepanel, because these controls directly available, so you code will be like this…

TextBox TextBox2 = (TextBox)dvContentDetail.FindControl("TextBox2");
