Hi,

I want to access in code-behind a label within the ItemTemplate of a
Formview.

<asp:FormView ID="FormView1" runat="server" DataKeyNames="id"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" >
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="nameLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("name")
%>'></asp:Label>

code-behind:
Dim name As String = CType(FormView1.FindControl("nameLabel"), Label).Text

I get the error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Could somebody tell me what's wrong in my code?
Thanks
Ben

The problem is with the viewstate of the formview control. Just enable
the view state of the control and make sure u are not populating it in
button's click; access it.
Hope this will solve your problem.
