Message: [QUOTE="Sudheer Aalla, post: 9514214"] Hi, When I try to reference the radiobuttonlist control in edititemtemplate in ItemDataBound event of datalist control I am getting NULL reference. I am trying to pre select the yes/no button depending on the label text in item template. But I am able to get the value of lable control which is in itemtemplate. Is there anything else I am missing here??? public void DataListItems_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e) { if (DataListItems.EditItemIndex != -1 && e.Item.ItemIndex != -1 && e.Item.HasControls()) { Label rbllblIsAdded = (Label)e.Item.FindControl("lblIsAdded"); RadioButtonList rbl = (RadioButtonList)e.Item.FindControl("edtrblIsAdded"); if (rbllblIsAdded.Text == "Added") { rbl.SelectedValue = "Yes"; } else { rbl.SelectedValue = "No"; } } } <EditItemTemplate> <table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="height:100%;"> <tr> <td width="10%"> <asp:RadioButtonList ID="edtrblIsAdded" RepeatDirection="Horizontal" runat="server"> <asp:ListItem Value="Yes">A</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="No">R</asp:ListItem> </asp:RadioButtonList> <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RFVedtrblIsAdded" runat="server" ErrorMessage="Please select added/removed" ControlToValidate="edtrblIsAdded" ValidationGroup="UpdateValidationControls" ToolTip="Please select added/removed">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator> </td> ........ Thanks, Sudheer. [/QUOTE]
