C# Page.FindControl returns null on dynamic controls

Question

I have two pages on which I bound dynamic controls . All the controls what I bound are TextBox es. Whenever I tried to retrieve the values of the controls in first page using

Page.Findcontrol("ctl00$cph_cabFest$AccountNumber")

It gives the proper result. But the second page gives the result as NULL. What could be the exact issue? Could anyone suggest me some way to identify this?

Answer 1

Just take a look at your event cycle . The best way to overcome these kind of issues is to bind the controls in Page_Init as well. There might be another reason for this. Bind your Panel in each PostBack request.
