Hello AR,

First, you need to find the child item with the template. I set the value property so I can easily access the item: <telerik:RadPanelItem Value="childItemTemplate" runat="server">
Then, in page load I access a random control fromt the template:

 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadPanelItem child1 = radPnl.FindItemByValue("childItemTemplate") as RadPanelItem;
        Label lbl1 = child1.FindControl("lblPrfName") as Label;
        lbl1.Text = "Text has been customized";
    }
