  If I understand you correctly, you're using the asp:FormView and your textbox is nested inside it, correct? I'd really need to see your .aspx code to determine the levels of nesting for the textbox.
  
  A possible solution that uses the .FindControl method is available at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1353511/get-object-from-formview-with-javascript.
  
  Hope this helps!

  Yes sir, you are right,
  I am using as follow:
  1. <asp:updatepanel ID="updatepanel1"...>
  2. <asp:formview ID="Formview1" defaultmode="ReadOnly" ...>
          <ItemTemplate>...</ItemTemplate>
          <EditItemTemplate>
  3.<telerik:RadTextBox ID="PicturlTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Picturl") %>'/>
       </EditItemTemplate>
      ...and so on.
  I did lots of research by how to modyfy a code smilar with the link you provided to me but i think the problem is that I placed the control inside editmode and the default mode of formview is readonly.
  
  By the way here is the link of my example http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/fileexplorer/examples/client-sideapi/fileselectordialog/defaultvb.aspx
  
  So how do I code this pls?????????????????????????????????????????????????????
  
  
  many thanks

  Hi Armend,
  
  As explained the the link posted by Richard, the FormView control only renders the controls from the current View, thus if the FormView is in readonly mode the controls from the EditItemTemplate are not added to the page at all, and it is not possible to access them.
  
  Could you please describe in more details what exactly you are trying to achieve so we can try to provide possible solution?

  HI DOBROMIR,
  
  First of all thanks for your commitment, so I have a formview control which bind a PictureURL, and simply I wanna offer to the user a very convenient way to select the picture in behalf of typing the link that he will never know the path cause the picture files are already uploaded just to select.
  If the way i try is almost imposable please sugest me something else. I already tried combobox as well but could not make it work insight formview. This is important to me as I am sure I will need in a future too!
