how do I access a textbox control inside a formview?
formview.textbox1.text == "hello world"; doesn't work
 
You have to use find control.

((TextBox)formview.FindControl("textbox1")).Text = "Hello world";
 
I got this error
Unable to cast object of type
'System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl' to type
'System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox'.

Click to expand...
Is textbox1 a Textbox you placed on the web form?
