    copied!<p>I've got this code in the code-behind on my page, which works perfectly fine for a repeater:</p> <pre><code> protected void AcctAssnRepeater_ItemCommand(object source, RepeaterCommandEventArgs e) { SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["PBRConnectionString"].ConnectionString); con.Open(); { string str10 = ((HtmlInputText)e.Item.FindControl("txtFlgUpdatedOn")).Value; } } </code></pre> <p>I'm trying to do something similar on another page, but it is telling me that "item" isn't valid:</p> <pre><code> protected void btnSubmit_OnClick(object sender, EventArgs e) { string str10 = ((HtmlInputText)e.Item.FindControl("txtDtSentToCIS")).Value; } </code></pre> <p>I'm still a C# n00b, can anyone tell me how to reference the value inside this control? Both pages have a runat="server" on the aspx side, so I would expect that there's a way to do it, I'm sure my syntax just needs adjusting.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>EDIT: Here's a piece of the aspx. Maybe I should note that it's all inside a Tab Control.</p> <pre><code> &lt;div style="width:430px;border:1px solid blue;float:left;"&gt; &lt;asp:Panel ID="Panel3" runat="server" Height="220px" style="float:left; margin-left: 19px" Width="410px"&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td width="210px"&gt;BIL Name:&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td width="200px"&gt;&lt;asp:textbox id="txtCISName" runat="server"&gt;&lt;/asp:textbox&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td width="210px"&gt;Date Sent To BIL:&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td width="200px"&gt;&lt;input type="text" id="txtDtSentToCIS" class="datepicker" name="txtDtSentToCIS" runat="server" style="height: 14px; width: 70px" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td width="210px"&gt;BIL Sign Off Received:&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td width="200px"&gt;&lt;asp:DropDownList ID="cboCISSignOff" runat="server" Height="16px" AutoPostBack="True" onselectedindexchanged="chkCISSignOff_CheckedChanged"&gt; &lt;asp:ListItem&gt;N&lt;/asp:ListItem&gt; &lt;asp:ListItem&gt;Y&lt;/asp:ListItem&gt; &lt;/asp:DropDownList&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td width="210px"&gt;&lt;asp:Label runat="server" Text="BIL Response:" ID="CISResp" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td width="200px"&gt;&lt;asp:textbox id="txtCISResponse" runat="server" textmode="MultiLine" rows="9" Width="180px"&gt;&lt;/asp:textbox&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/asp:Panel&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre>
