aspx thread: Editing controls in a DataList control from an event handler...


Message #1 by "Oliver, Wells" <WOliver@l...> on Tue, 15 Oct 2002 13:44:04 -0700
I have a DataList, inside of it I have a button. When the user clicks on the
button, a DropDownList in the DataList is supposed to be populated. However,
I can't figure it out.

The button is <asp:button id="fillOptions" onClick="fillOptions"
runat="server" />

Normally I'd do
"((DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("CatalogFamilyID")).Items.Add(new
ListItem ("Test"));" but that only works in a handler that has e as the
DataListItemEventArgs.

When creating the code to handle fillOptions I have only EventArgs to work
with, so I see no real way of editing controls in the datalist control.

Any tips? Thanks!
