Get value of Rad Editor inside User Control

[Suzan]

I am trying to get the value of a Radeditor field in a User Control when updating to store it in my database table

In the update command of my grid I have tried using both of these commands

 

Dim editedItem As GridEditableItem = TryCast(e.Item, GridEditableItem)

Dim MyUserControl As UserControl = CType(e.Item.FindControl(GridEditFormItem.EditFormUserControlID), UserControl)

 

Dim editorcomment As RadEditor
editorcomment = CType(MyUserControl.FindControl("Comment"), RadEditor)
editorcomment = editedItem.FindControl("Comment")

Neither of these commands brings back any data in editorcomment.Content

Please can you give me some code which will retrieve the Content of the RadEditor field

Further information

I can get the value of other controls on the page. It is just the RadEditor that I am having problems with

For example

I can get the value of this drop down list

assess_grade = CType(MyUserControl.FindControl("ddlassessgrade"), RadDropDownList).SelectedItem.Value

Is there something extra I have to do for a RadEditor control
