Get a value from a DetailsView Control

[evandelagrammaticas]

Hi all,

I have been searching for this one for a while now.

I have a databound details view control which links to a table that
has firstName, MiddleName and Surname, I would like to reference a
field value witin that control...

I would like to check the value of the surname field and assign it to
a label control, but am unable to find the code to do this.

Something like this... label1.text = detailsview.formcontrol.value

I have found plenty of references and long-winded explanations, but
nothing that is too the point and uses the VB structure as opposed to
the C#

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Regards

Evan

This is driving me mad!

I am having exactly the same difficulties.

I can only conclude that you and I are trying to do something out of the ordinary. There doesnt seem to be anything out there which explains how to refer to the value of a child control of a DetailsView.

If you found a solution or found somewhere where they can help, please let me know.

Simon.

I'm out of practice with vb

You use findcontrol on the container to find a child and get a reference to
it.
If you google findcontrol you can maybe get more reliable code.

Very rusty with vb but something like

dim tb as textbox
dim s as string
tb = detailsview1.findcontrol("mytextbox")
s = tb.text

Actually, if you look at the source for your screen you will see that the
name of the control is predictable anyhow.
I think you can specify it with vs2010.
