[Solved] FindControl within RadGrid

[Han]

Hi,

I have a CheckBoxList inside FormTemplate (MasterTableViewEditForm) of a RadGrid.
I cannot find it using something like

RadGrid1.FindControl("controlID");

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here is what I'm using to get the selected values from a CheckBoxList. You can shorten it by setting

editedItem.FindControl("applications") as CheckBoxList

to an object and reuse it instead of repeating the statement like I did.

        //Applications variable
        string applications = "";

        // loop trough checkboxes
        for (int i = 0; i < (editedItem.FindControl("applications") as CheckBoxList).Items.Count; i++)
        {
            if ((editedItem.FindControl("applications") as CheckBoxList).Items[i].Selected)
            {
                // Build the list the selected values
                applications += (editedItem.FindControl("applications") as CheckBoxList).Items[i].Value + ",";

            }
        }
        applications = applications.TrimEnd(','); // remove the trailing comma from the string
