Dynamic controls

[Guest]

Hi all,
I'd like to fill text property in LinkButton.

For example:
int i = 3;
this.Controls["myLinkButton" + i.ToString()].Text = i.ToString();

Unfortunatelly this doesn't work for .NET 2.0.
I used "findIDControl" ... and I find it ! (all well),
..... but there isn't the Text property ...
there is only Visible and some other property.

Can you help me ?
Thanks in advance.

You need to cast the control that is returned by the FindControl method
otherwise it just returns a generic asp.net control object.

Example in C#

TextBox MyTextBox = (TextBox)ParentControl.findcontrol("Childcontrol");
MyTextBox.Text = "SomeWords";

You could also do something like:

((TextBox)ParentControl.FindControl("Childcontrol")).Text = "SomeWords";

But i think this makes the code less readable.
