Get control

Hello,

I have a control inside a custom control. The control tree is has
follows:

ListView > EditItemTemplate > CustomControl A > CustomControl B >
Literal

I need to bind the Literal so I did the following:

Dim lvdiContainer As ListViewDataItem =
CType(myLiteral.NamingContainer, ListViewDataItem)

This does not work because myLiteral.NamingContainer returns Custom
Control B.

If I have the following control tree it works:

ListView > EditItemTemplate > Literal

Could someone, please, tell me how to solve this problem?

Thanks,
Miguel

Hello Miguel,

Could you set the value of your litreral from within Control B. For
example on the OnLoad or PreRender event?

Hi,

I can't do that. This is inside a ListView Item template.

I tried the following:

Dim lvdiContainer As ListViewDataItem =
CType(lText.Parent.Parent.NamingContainer, ListViewDataItem)

I keep having the same error.

Thanks,
Miguel
