As your data list is inside another control which is gridview. To access this type of controls which is inside another control you need to use FindControl(). For example in gridview to access 'dlList1' in SelectedIndexChanged method you can access it as Var dlList1=(DataList) GrdId.row[e.RowIndex].FindControl(dlList1); Then perform operations on dlList1 as per your need.
