error in accesing child controls inside RadDock

[Aby]

I recently upgraded to prometheus, and my existing code which was working broke. Previously I used to access child controls inside raddock using code below

            Label Label1 = (Label)RadDock2.FindControl("lblEvents");
            Label1.Text = "my string here";

ASP.NET code

<telerik:RadDock ID="RadDock2" runat="server" Text="Events">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblEvents" runat="server"></asp:Label>
</ContentTemplate>
</telerik:RadDock>

Now, its throwing System.NullReferenceException at Label1.Text = "my string here";

Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
ABy

Hello Aby,

In RadDock for ASP.NET you have direct access to the child controls of the RadDock placed inside dock's ContentTemplate. In your case you can access the label placed inside dock's ContentTemplate in the following way:
        lblEvents.Text = "my string here";

or using the FindControl method to search the control inside the dock's ContentContainer, e.g.:

Label Label1 = (Label)RadDock2.ContentContainer.FindControl("lblEvents");    
Label1.Text = "my string here";

Let us know if you need further assistance.
