Getting values from another control in a datalist

[Regan]

So, I have DatalistA on my form; it is rebinding with a refreshed datasetB
after each post back.

DatalistA contains buttonC and labelD, bound to datasetB.

What do I have to do in the OnClick event of buttonC, to retrieve the text
value of labelD?

Thank for your help!

Instead of handling OnClick event for the button, handle ItemCommand event
for the datalist:<aspataList
OnItemCommand="Item_Command"><ItemTemplate><asp:Button CommandName="XXX"
/></ItemTemplate></aspataList>

and in the code behind:
void Item_Command(Object sender, DataListCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "XXX")
string label = (e.Item.FindControl("labelD") as Label).Text;
}

Thanks Eliyahu =)

I appreciate the help. I will explore this soon.
