Problem finding a control within a FormView from code-behind?

Your dropdown only exists in Insert mode. Try to implement the formview's ModeChanged event and retrieve the control if CurrentMode == Insert.

FindControl on a formview will only work for the template that the FormView's "CurrentMode" property is set to.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
