Hi,

I have a very frustrating problem that I have researched for countless
hours to no avail. There are many posts asking very similar things,
however none usefull in my situation. I am using VS 2005 (ASP 2.0) and
VB .NET.

I have a page with a datalist, a gridview and then other data controls,
nested in that order. This all works great, and produces a nice looking
page, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to reference
controls on the nested gridview and formviews. The HTML page is similar
to the below. What would be the correct syntaxt for referencing a
control on eg. FormView1 from Visual Basic code-behind? How does that
differ to a control on GridView2?

Can anyone point me in the right direction here? Perhaps a tutorial
that discusses these cases? I can post the actual code here, but I
thought the summary would be more meaningful.

<asp:datalist>
  <asp:GridView ID="GridView1">
      <asp:Boundfield>  </asp:BoundField>
      <asp:Boundfield>  </asp:BoundField>
      <asp:TemplateField>
          <asp:label ID="outerGridID">
           <asp:GridView  ID="GridView2">
          </asp:GridView>
          <asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1">
          </asp:Repeater>
          <asp:FormView ID="FormView1">
          </asp:FormView>
     </asp:TemplateField>
  </asp:GridView>
</asp:Datalist>

Many hopeful regards,

Martin
