Alter text in textbox on ItemDataBound

Marius Vasile

I am trying to alter the text in a asp:TextBox from a DataList with

protected void DataList7_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
    {
        TextBox tb = (TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("txtActivitate");
        txtActivitate.Text = "Activitate: " + tb.Text;
    }
        
}

html



.......

but the change is not happening to the control "txtActivitate". How it should look like?

I found the solution with

if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
    TextBox tb = (TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("txtActivitate");
    tb.Text = "Activitate: " + tb.Text;
}
