Is it possible to get a control by ID like e.Item.Cells[1].Controls["toto"]

[SoftLion]

Is it possible to get a control by ID like that :

void DataGrid1_ValidateEdit(object sender, DataGridCommandEventArgs e)
{
object obj = e.Item.Cells[2].Controls["myControlID"];
instead of:
object obj = e.Item.Cells[2].Controls[0];
}

Or is there a way to do this easily ?

Ok I found the solution,
FindControl ....

Well,

i have never done it that way but I know this way works:

dim workDropDownList as dropdownlist

workDropDownList = CType(e.Item.FindControl("ddlDivision"),
DropDownList)




the point being the FindControl function will return a reference to
the control with the ID specified.

I hope this helps.
