Find Control Inside ListView Control

Question

I want to find \"Label\" control with ID = \"Label\" inside the \"ListView\" control. I was trying to do this with the following code:

((Label)this.ChatListV         


        

Answer 1

This function will get Author Name from a database, you just need to call your method to get Author Name and then return it

protected string GetUserFromPost(Guid? x)
{
    // call your function to get Author Name
    return "User Name";
}

And to bind label in the list view you have to do it in list view ItemDataBound Event

protected void ChatListView_ItemDataBound(object sender, ListViewItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item.ItemType == ListViewItemType.DataItem)
    {
        Label lbl = e.Item.FindControl("Label") as Label;
        lbl.Text = "Active";
    }
}

Here are the list view aspx code changes (just add onitemdatabound="ChatListView_ItemDataBound"):

asp:ListView 
ID="ChatListView" 
runat="server" 
DataSourceID="EntityDataSourceUserPosts" 
onitemdatabound="ChatListView_ItemDataBound"
