Hi Daniel,

As for how to retrieve a control in the DataGrid's ItemTemplate, you can
just use the FindControl method. First, get the reference to the certain
DataGridItem, then, use FindControl method on the proper Cell( which
contains the control). For example, here is a code snippet on find a
TextBox control in the datagrid's ItemDataBound event

private void dgMain_ItemDataBound_1(object sender,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType ==
ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
TextBox txt = (TextBox)e.Item.Cells[2].FindControl("txtSub");
Response.Write("<br>" + txt.ClientID +" | " + txt.UniqueID );
}
}

And here are some other webreouces dicusssing on this :
