Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The name 'EmailTB' does not exist in the current context

Question

I am using a ListView control to display an Email value in the EmailTB text control as shown here

<div class="form_right_view">
                <asp:Label ID="EmailTB" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Email") %>' CssClass="" Font-Bold="true"></asp:Label>
               </div>

I also wanted to use the value of the EmailTB.text in the code behind as follows

if (EmailTB.Text != " ")
        {

            string Username = Membership.GetUserNameByEmail(EmailTB.Text);

        }

But I am getting Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The name 'EmailTB' does not exist in the current context.

Thanks

I think U are using child control with in ListViewparent control. In this condition you can not get EmailTB control at page level access. So You have to find this control on ListView ItemDataBound event and asign value to EmailTB.Text. Code is here protected void ListView1_ItemDataBound(object sender ListViewItemEventArgs e) { if (e.Item = ListItemType.Item || e.Item = ListItemType.AlternatingItem) { ((Label)e.Items.FindControl(EmailTB)).Text = Membership.GetUserNameByEmail(EmailTB.Text); } } You Will get value when Bind ListView1 control.
