Default Nested Container control binding
I am using the AjaxControlToolkit and I have several controls that are inside a TabPanel, within a TabContainer. The TabContainer is in a Panel, which is nested in a DataList. (see aspx code below).
The Datalist contains my DataRow, and I need to figure out how to access the DataList to set values in the Tabs child controls from the aspx. Somehting like "Container.Parent.Parent.Container.DataItem" or "Container.Container.DataItem"

Code:
<DataListID="AL"runat="server"DataKeyField="RefNumber"Width="100%">
<ItemTemplate>
   <PanelID="AP"runat="server"GroupingText="Address"CssClass="Addr">
    <TabContainerID="ATS"runat="server">
          <TabPanelID="MemA"runat="server"HeaderText="Member">
             <ContentTemplate>                   <p>
                  <LabelID="HPhLbl"Text="Home"runat="server"Width="75px"/>
                  <TextBoxID="HPh"runat="server"Text=' <%# ((DataRowView)Container.DataItem)["HomePhone"] %> ' />
               </p>
Prior to adding the tabstrip everything loaded correctly, I justneed to understand how to assign values from a Datalist to controls, several containers deep.

Thanks!
