accessing control in EmptyDataTemplate

[Jeff]

hi

asp.net 2.0

I have a GridView here with some controls in it's EmptyDataTempla te. I'm
wondering how I can get access to those controls. I've tryed using
FindControl, but that doesn't work because EmptyDataTempla te doesn't have
that method

<EmptyDataTempl ate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtCode" runat="server"> </asp:TextBox>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtDesc" runat="server"> </asp:TextBox>
<asp:LinkButt on ID="lbEmpty" OnClick="lbEmpt y_Click" runat="server"> Legg
til</asp:LinkButton>
</EmptyDataTempla te>

(BTW, it is in the lbEmpty_Click method I'm trying to access the txtCode and
txtDesc textboxes. it's here the problem occur)

Any suggestions?

Re: accessing control in EmptyDataTempla te

try:


void lbEmpty_Click(O bject sender, EventArgs e)
{
var parent = ((Control) sender).Parent;
var txtCode = parent.FindCont rol("txtCode") as TextBox;
var txtDesc = parent.FindCont rol("txtDesc") as TextBox;
}
