Finding DropDownList inside Item_Updating event

Question

Hi I want to find a DropDownList Control inside ItemUpdating event of DetailsView control. I have used following methods to do the same but none of them are working DropDownList drp_SName = (DropDownList)dv_UnshippedOrders.Rows[0].Cells[0].FindControl(drp_Name); DropDownList drp_SName = (DropDownList)dv_UnshippedOrders.FindControl(drp_Name); Kindly help me out in this regard.

In this way you can findcontrol . protected void DetailsView1_ItemUpdating(object sender DetailsViewUpdateEventArgs e) { string Empid = e.CommandArgument.ToString(); TextBox txtname = (TextBox)DetailsView1.FindControl(txtEmpname); TextBox txtEmp_Address = (TextBox)DetailsView1.FindControl(txtEmp_Address); TextBox txtEmp_Department = (TextBox)DetailsView1.FindControl(txtEmp_Department); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(Usp_Insert_Update con); cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue(@EmpId Empid); cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue(@Emp_Nametxtname.Text); cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue(@Emp_AddresstxtEmp_Address.Text); cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue(@Emp_DepartmenttxtEmp_Department.Text); cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue(@QueryID 2); con.Open(); cmd.ExecuteScalar(); con.Close(); DetailsView1.ChangeMode(DetailsViewMode.ReadOnly); AllDetailsDataBind(); } For more Details you can visit this site and check. http://dotnet-sai.blogspot.in/p/all-gridview-example.html
