ASP.net 2.0, using Visual Studio 2005

Can't seem to figure out how to get a reference to a control in a FormView.

I have tried the following code:
Control list = ArticleDetailView.FindControl("IssueYearDropDown");

during several event handlers, including FormLoad,
ArticleDetailView_DataBinding, ArticleDetailView_ModeChanged
(ArticleDetailView is the FormView). It always returns null.

The Control is a DropDownList, and is specified in the InsertItemTemplate.

Thanks

To answer my own question, I just searched for the control in the handler
that brought up the InsertItemTemplate, and it found it there..

Still trying to wrap my head around this stuff...
