I think you should use Label lbl = (Label)e.Item.FindControl(lableName); in Itemcommand. I think DataList1.FindControl(lableName) won't work since there could be multiple controls with the same name. HTH.

Hi friend i think it may help you string str=((Label)DataList1.FindControl(lableName)).Text; here you should check you have given correct labelid.

On the face of it that looks like it should work. Are you sure you're using the correct ID for the label?
