FindControl in NodeDataBound

[Kevin Neumann]

I am wondering if FindControl on the NodeDataBound is an upcoming feature? Or is it has been replaced with something else that I am missing?  I expected to be able to do e.Node.FindControl to find a control in my ItemTemplate but have not been able to do so yet.  A simple reasoning behind the need for this could be tied to the Soccer/Football example.  Say you wanted an image in the ItemTemplate of a Star that was only visible if the player was a team captain or something along that line.

Hi Kevin,

For the next service pack the FindControl method of the GroupItem will be available. E.g. :

void RadOrgChart5_GroupItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.OrgChartGroupItemDataBoundEventArguments e)
{

    var label = e.Item.FindControl("Label1")
}

The template is applied to the GroupItem,  that is why the find method is applied to it too.

Greetings,

Will the findcontrol method be available to NodeDataBound as well?

Hi Sampath,

Please try the following C# code snippet to access the ItemTemplate Control in OnNodeDataBound event of RadOrgChart.

C#:

Label lblControl = e.Node.GroupItems[0].FindControl("Label1") as Label;

Thanks,
Shinu.
