access html control in datalist

[Guest]

is there a way to access an HTML control embeded inside a datalist ?
I need to format the datalist depends on specific condition while databinding
( on ItemDataBound)

<datalist runat=server>
<itemTemplate>
<input type=text value='<%#
CType(Container.DataItem,System.Data.DataRowView)("myValue") %>' id=myControl>
</itemTemplate>
</datalist>

thanks for help

well, you need to add a runat="Server" at which point you can access it via
dim mycontrol as HtmlTextInput = ctype(e.Item.FindControls("myControl"),
HtmlTextInput)
