If Statement within Formview

Hi,

Looking to write a very simple if statement that would read something like this:

If fieldinformview = "New" then
cmdAccept.Visible = True
End If

I can't currently find a function that will allow me to pull out the formview's data so that the statement will work.

Help much appreciated.

Hi - I've written that code up:

 If DirectCast(FormView1.FindControl("StatusLabel"), TextBox).Text <> "Acc" Then
            Button3.Visible = True
        Else
            Button3.Visible = False
        End If

Open in new window

However receive the following error on loading the page:

System.NullReferenceException was unhandled by user code
  Message=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Haha! Fixed it, I was looking for a Label not a TextBox so I've changed the code and it's working now, thanks :)
