I have a PanelBar that is databounded to a list via the code behind. Inside the PanelBar I want a template that has a control inside it and the control is databounded OnItemDataBound of the PanelBar by getting a value from the PanelBarItem. The issue I'm having is that I can't find the control to bind to it. The code throws a null reference exception on line 27 of the code behind below.

Here is the html markup
