Hi,

If you want to fetch hidden field value in Datalist using client side then provide the HTML content of Datalist(You can find it using view source in browser).

According to HTML content we can write selector for jQuery or Javascript also.

Hi Saravana,

As per requirement: You have a user control with a datalist and that user control is used in aspx page. Please see below code get value from user control in aspx page:

Assume that your usercontrol ID is dtlEmp in aspx page

Code:
DataList dataList = Page.FindControl("dtlEmp") as DataList;
// Looping over all items present in your datalist
foreach (DataListItem dli in dataList.Items)
{
ControlCollection controls = dli.Controls;
// Finding all controls in a row
foreach (Control c in controls)
{
Label lblName = c.FindControl("lblFirstName") as Label;
string firstName = lblName.Text;
}
}

Here lblFirstName is ID of Label control which is present in your datalist in ascx page(User control page). You can change the control ID as per your need.

Hope this will resolve your problem.

Note: If you find anything useful please accept my answer as correct answer.
