[Solved] GridTemplateColumn problem

[mww]

I want to use a GridTemplateColumn in my grid, this is how im using it

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="CastMember" DataType="System.String" HeaderText="Cast Member"
                        SortExpression="CastMember" UniqueName="CastMember">
                        <EditItemTemplate>
                            <telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBoxCastMember2" runat="server" Skin="Vista" Width="250px" MaxLength="100" >
                            </telerik:RadTextBox>

                        </EditItemTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

when I edit the grid, I want the text box to contain the contents of the underlying datafield, so in my

ItemCreated

event ive puit this code

protected void RadGridCast_ItemCreated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
            {
                if (!e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted)
                {

                    GridEditableItem item = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
                    RadTextBox tb = (RadTextBox)item.FindControl("RadTextBoxCastMember2");





                }

            }


        }

how do I obtain the data to put in the textbox when its in edit mode ???  Ive tried several methods but none of them work.  Can someone give me a working example ?
