Declaring controls in FormView

P

photo

Hi!

I am new to .net (vb) and moving from classic asp. I ran into a problem
that has left me with less hair on my head.

For some reason, my button and calendar that sits inside an
insertItemTemplate in a FormView, will not allow me to declare it. The
controls (Calendar1, InvoiceDate) are in the page and names are
correct. Here is the sub I am using.

<script language="VB" runat="server">

' when the button is clicked the calendar is visible

Sub showcal1(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Calendar1.Visible = True
End Sub
' this takes the date selected from the calendar and places it in a
textbox.
Sub Date_Selected(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
InvoiceDate.Text = Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString
Calendar1.Visible = False
End Sub

</script>

This works fine if it is not inside the FormView control. I am using
inline code for this task. Below is the entire of code. Any help would
be greatly appreciated. ; )


<script language="VB" runat="server">

' when the button is clicked the calendar is visible

Sub showcal1(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Calendar1.Visible = True
End Sub
' this takes the date selected from the calendar and places it in a
textbox.
Sub Date_Selected(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
InvoiceDate.Text = Calendar1.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString
Calendar1.Visible = False
End Sub

</script>

Got it.... had to dim them up and add FindControl...

Sub showcal1(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
FormView1.FindControl("Calendar1").Visible = True
End Sub

Sub Date_Selected(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

Dim invdate
invdate = FormView1.FindControl("InvoiceDate")
Dim clnd
clnd = FormView1.FindControl("Calendar1")

invdate.text = clnd.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString()
FormView1.FindControl("Calendar1").Visible = False

End Sub
