Lol I just discovered that as your message arrived!! I don't understand this because I thought the dgridhazard would be a child object of the TabControl and not the main form.

<div>
Try this<br />

<pre><code id="code-607740">DataGrid dgid = tabMain.Controls[0].FindControl(&quot;dgridHazard&quot;) as DataGrid;

if it does not work then 

DataGrid dgid = tabMain.Items[0].FindControl(&quot;dgridHazard&quot;) as DataGrid;
</code></pre>
</div>


Try this


DataGrid dgid = tabMain.Controls[0].FindControl("dgridHazard") as DataGrid;

if it does not work then 

DataGrid dgid = tabMain.Items[0].FindControl("dgridHazard") as DataGrid;

How do I reference controls that are in a TabPage of a TabControl?<br />
<br />
&nbsp;I have a TabControl called tabMain, and have created three TabPages called tabHazard,tabRisk,tabActio<wbr />n. Inside tabHazard I have a datagrid called dgridHazard. How would I reference this datagrid in code?<br />
<br />
I thought it might be something like tabMain.tabHazard.dgridHaz<wbr />ard but I'm not getting any joy. <br />

How do I reference controls in in TabPage in C#

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
