Cannot see Telerik RadTextBox in my code-behind

Question

I have a RadTextBox and I need my back-end to know the Text of it. However, I get an error when trying to access it from anywhere within my backend:

txtnote does not exist in the current context.

 <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Notes" UniqueName="Notes"> <ItemTemplate> <telerik:RadTextBox ID="txtnote" InputType="Text" Width="100%" Rows="4" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("notes")%>' TextMode="MultiLine"></telerik:RadTextBox> </ItemTemplate> </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get the Text value of this?

As mentioned above, I cannot access this from anywhere. My backend is completely empty, just an empty page_load method. — classicSchmosby98

If you have the ability try posting on their forums, they have good support. Only things I can suggest would be restart your IDE. I find Visual Studio and Telerik controls sometimes get into a funk. Do you have multiple versions of their WPF controls installed on the system? I've had issues where different versions of the software wouldn't play nicely together. — 580

You are in a template of a data-bound control, so you can't directly access the server element in code-behind. There are lots of ways to get it though, you just have to search. Such as telerik.com/forums/… — Seano666

Thanks to @Seano666, I found a solution. This is what I ended up using:

RadTextBox txtbox = (RadTextBox)item["Notes"].FindControl("txtnote"); string WhatIWantedToFind = txtbox.Text;

Thanks.

Glad you figured it out! I guess I could have made some free internet points here, oh well :)
