Accessing gridview controls

[pieandpeas]

I've got a textbox in a gridview, when i reference this textbox in my vb code i get - Name 'tbValue' is not declared. However, if i bring this textbox out of my gridview and place it somewhere else on the page it can be assigned things via the code.

my question is, how do i get to access the values of a textbox when it is used in a gridview to display information?

You can access the textbox by using the findcontrol method on the gridview.

for example

Dim TextBox tb = (TextBox)gridview1.FindControl("tbValue")

I mostly use C# so this may not be the correct syntax for VB but it should be something like this.

Thanks, please could you give me an example of this code in use (does it need a loop, if i only want to access the textbox on a certain line in the gridview)?, as i'm not sure how to actually use this code in my vb code. Thanks :)
