How do I access a Control in the LayoutTemplate of a ListView control?
I need to get to litControlTitle and set its Text attribute.
<asp:ListView ID="lv" runat="server">
<LayoutTemplate>
<asp:Literal ID="litControlTitle" runat="server" />
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="itemPlaceHolder" runat="server" />
</LayoutTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
Any thoughts? Perhaps via the OnLayoutCreated event?
Try this:
((Literal)lv.FindControl("litControlTitle")).Text = "Your text";
This technique works for template layout; use the init event of the control:
<asp:ListView ID="lv" runat="server" OnDataBound="lv_DataBound">
<LayoutTemplate>
<asp:Literal ID="litControlTitle" runat="server" OnInit="litControlTitle_Init" />
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="itemPlaceHolder" runat="server" />
</LayoutTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
And capture a reference to the control for use in the code-behind (e.g) in the ListView's DataBound event:
private Literal litControlTitle;
protected void litControlTitle_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
litControlTitle = (Literal) sender;
}
protected void lv_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
litControlTitle.Text = "Title...";
}
