How to access asp controls inside a loginview

[LLars]

Hey,

I have the following problem: I have an asp-page which contains a loginview
with two templates (loggedin- and anonymoustemplate). How can I access a
textbox inside the the loggedintemplate from the code behind c# module?

I tried: (TextBox)Page.FindControl("TextBox1") but that will result in a
null pointer.
I also tried:
(TextBox)Page.FindControl("ContentPlaceHolder1.LoginView1.TextBox1") with the
same result.

Any ideas what I can try next?

Umm, you don't have an "asp-page": you have an "aspx-page". There is a
difference.

There was no way for you to know it, but this is a classic asp newsgroup.
While you may be lucky enough to find a dotnet-savvy person here who can
answer your question, you can eliminate the luck factor by posting your
question to a newsgroup where the dotnet-savvy people hang out. I suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.

I tried: (TextBox)Page.FindControl("TextBox1") but that will result
in a null pointer.
I also tried:
(TextBox)Page.FindControl("ContentPlaceHolder1.LoginView1.TextBox1")
with the same result.

No clue. I have not played with .Net 2.0 yet.

Hey Bob,

thank you for the tip with a better newgroup. I thought asp and general was
the right ony, but I see that your suggestion is a much better one.

By the way, I found out that I can access all controls if I use the
FindControl method on the Masterpage. If the trace directive is set to true,
the structure can be seen. I write this, just in case someone reads the
question and hopes for an answer.

Thanks again Bob.
