how to call a function in datalist edit mode

[Kevin Spencer]

The "following procedure" you mentioned is structured like an Event Handler.
Is there some reason for this? Why don't you just leave off the Event
Handler parameters (which you don't seem to be using) and just call the Sub?

Ok, I replaced the code with the following one as you said:

Sub ClearDischargeDate()
Dim txtDis As TextBox
txtDis =
CType(Page.FindControl("dliStayDetails").FindContr ol("txtDisDate"), TextBox)
txtDis.Text = ""
End Sub

Now, how can I call this code in the event mode of the datalist control?
Thanks for your help,

Buran
