Re: How loop datalist to retrieve textbox value?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I tried looping thru the datalist like this:

For Each i As DataListItem In Me.DataList1.Items
Dim CartId As Label = CType(i.FindControl("Label1"), Label)
Dim Qty As TextBox = CType(i.FindControl("txtQty"), TextBox)
Response.Write(CartId.Text & ":" & Qty.Text & "<br>")
Next

Qty gets filled properly. But, CartId ALWAYS comes up blank even though I
visually can see that there's a .text value. Any ideas why?

Thanks.
