I'm trying to find a TableCell in the DataList. The ID of the TableCell is tcSpecs. When either the ItemDataBound or ItemCreated event fires, it doesn't see tcSpecs, i.e., tcSpecs remains null. Here's my code:



protected void dlAssocDetail_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)

TableCell tc = (TableCell)e.Item.FindControl("tbSpecs");


protected void dlAssocDetail_ItemCreated(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)

TableCell tc = (TableCell)e.Item.FindControl("tbSpecs");



What am I doing wrong? How do I find this TableCell?



Backing up a bit, what I'm trying to accomplish is to dynamically create a bunch of HyperLink controls on the page. I'm trying to find the TableCell so I have somewhere to put them. If anyone can suggest an alternative to using the TableCell, I'm open to that, too. Thanks much.

    I'm trying to find a TableCell in the DataList. The ID of the TableCell is tcSpecs. When either the ItemDataBound or ItemCreated event fires, it doesn't see tcSpecs, i.e., tcSpecs remains null. Here's my code:



    protected void dlAssocDetail_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)

    TableCell tc = (TableCell)e.Item.FindControl("tbSpecs");


    protected void dlAssocDetail_ItemCreated(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)

    TableCell tc = (TableCell)e.Item.FindControl("tbSpecs");



    What am I doing wrong? How do I find this TableCell?



    Backing up a bit, what I'm trying to accomplish is to dynamically create a bunch of HyperLink controls on the page. I'm trying to find the TableCell so I have somewhere to put them. If anyone can suggest an alternative to using the TableCell, I'm open to that, too. Thanks much.

          I figured this out. First you have to find the Table, then the TableRow, then the TableCell. So:



          protected void dlAssocDetail_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)

          Table ta = (Table)e.Item.FindControl("myTable");
          foreach (TableRow row in ta.Rows)
          foreach (TableCell cell in row.Cells)
          //do something

            I figured this out. First you have to find the Table, then the TableRow, then the TableCell. So:



            protected void dlAssocDetail_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)

            Table ta = (Table)e.Item.FindControl("myTable");
            foreach (TableRow row in ta.Rows)
            foreach (TableCell cell in row.Cells)
            //do something
