Accessing the Bind value of Text='<%#Bind("firstname") %>'

[Kelly Harris]

In the code-behind I am attempting to see what the "bind" value is for Text='<%#Bind("firstname") %>'.  The answer I am looking for in the example is "firstname". 
I know there has to be a way of accessing that value so any ObjectDataSource or other binding method can be used for setting that value when the RadTextBox is displayed or updated.
You may ask why?  I am attempting to create a generic way to pre-set values when inserting by using the Bind attribute/property's value.

I hope I made myself clear
Thanks
