nested listview how to iterate through child listview control

I have nested listview (see below)

How can I iterate through child listview ?

I am using

ListView ChildListView = (ListView)parentListView.FindControl("childListView"); //THIS IS ALWAYS NULL!

foreach (ListViewDataItem item in ChildListView.Items)
{

}

I cannot get a reference to the child listview - how can I solve this?

<asp:ListView ID="parentListView" runat="server"  
        <LayoutTemplate>
                <asp:PlaceHolder ID="itemPlaceholder" runat="server">                   </asp:PlaceHolder>
        </LayoutTemplate>
        <ItemTemplate>
                <!-- title goes here -->
                <asp:ListView ID="childListView" runat="server" 
                        <LayoutTemplate>
                                <asp:PlaceHolder ID="itemPlaceholder" .....
                                        </LayoutTemplate>
                                    <ItemTemplate>
                                    </ItemTemplate>

ASKER

I am not using any of the listview events - you see I am inserting a new entity into the database

So I have an addbutton event

Then I want to iterate through the child listview
