DropDownList drpLstControl = (DropDownList)tblTimeZon.FindControl("drpLst" + objCustomField.DatabaseField); In the above line its giving null value. This all controls are in an update panel and content place holder. Please help.

Hi, One important thing i noticed was you need to traverse through rows and then cells in tblTimeZon table. And then try to find the control in a particular cell. Here is a small example, i will be using a TextBox. .aspx code <asp:Table ID="Table1" runat="server" Height="160px" Width="176px"> <asp:TableRow runat="server" ID="ROW1"> <asp:TableCell runat="server" ID="CELL1"> aaa <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox> </asp:TableCell> <asp:TableCell runat="server">bbb</asp:TableCell> <asp:TableCell runat="server">ccc</asp:TableCell> </asp:TableRow> </asp:Table> <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Get Content in Text" OnClick="Button1_Click" /> <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label> .cs code protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { foreach (TableRow tr in Table1.Rows) { foreach (TableCell tc in tr.Cells) { TextBox tb = (TextBox)tc.FindControl("TextBox1"); if(tb != null) { Label1.Text = tb.Text; } } } } Hope it helped. Thx, Gayani
