How to refer to label control inside itemtemplate
I have the following mark up and code(I have problem in teh code side)
<asp:ListView ID="ListView1" DataSourceID="SqlDataSourc
<LayoutTemplate>
<table cellpadding="2" runat="server" id="tblExcel" width="640px" cellspacing="0">
<tr runat="server" id="itemPlaceholder" />
</table>
</LayoutTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<tr id="Tr1" runat="server">
<%--<td>
<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" />
</td>--%>
<td>
<asp:Label ID="lblUnitID" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("UnitID") %>' />
</td>
<td>
<asp:Label ID="ParishLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("School") %>' />
</td>
<td>
<asp:Button ID="SelectButton" runat="server" Text="Select"
CommandName="Select"
CommandArgument='<%#Eval("
</td>
<td>
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label>
</td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
IN code behind I do to refer to it but getting Object not set...
Dim lblDone As Label = FindControl("Label2")
lblDone.Text = "Done"
I d like to see ways to access the label.

findcontrol as you used, looks under the main form, since your label is a child of the listview, you need to write ListView1.FindControl....
Actually that won't work either. The ListView can display a series of records, so you need to use FindControl on a specific item. For example, it you wanted to get the label in the first row of the ListView you would use:
Dim lblDone As Label = CType(ListView1.Items(0).FindControl("Label2"), Label)SOLUTION

Either way, code works but does not display the Label "DONE" in the row I assinged for <TD> </TD>
BTW, there are several rows, How would I reference which row or index Im clicking.

Have you got your ListView sat inside an AJAX updatepanel or anything like that?
