This line should be
TextBox PostText=(TextBox)DataList1.Items[IndexHere].FindControl("PostComment");Albert83 wrote:

Can you get DataList1 control in codebehind side? If no, It should be inherit problem of the page. Check page directory of groups.aspx and class name of groups.aspx.cs.

I can't get the DataList in code behind that's the problem. The weird thing DataList1 does show up in the list and I can choose Items property and find control property. But when I run it, it says DataList1 does not exist in the current context. How to resolve it ? That's aspx: %@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="groups.aspx.cs" Inherits="groups" %> that's aspx.cs public partial class groups : System.Web.UI.Page { Also In this code: TextBox PostText=(TextBox)DataList1.Items[IndexHere].FindControl("PostComment"); what's Items[IndexHere] - what index is that. Should I count the number of items in the ItemTemplate?

Did you get runtime error or compile time error?

Yes.you have to do looping through datalist items.
