  .FindControl("TextBox1")

  Dec 05, 2012 07:55 PM|LINK

  Hello,

  I have a gridview that c# is trying to pull code over from. For some reason it is not pulling the data of textboxs over here is an example of some of my asp.net:

  <asp:DetailsView
              id="dtlEmployees"
              Visible="False"
              DataKeyNames="EmployeeID"
              DefaultMode="Edit"
              DataSourceID="srcNames2"
              AutoGenerateRows="False"
              GridLines="None"
              Runat="server"  >
              <Fields>
                  <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="First Name:">
                      <EditItemTemplate>
                          <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("FirstName") %>'></asp:TextBox>
                      </EditItemTemplate>

  Here is some of the C# (has regex for validation)

   var text1 = (TextBox)dtlEmployees.FindControl("TextBox1") as TextBox;
                      txt1 = text1.ToString();
  
                      dummy = txt1;
                      if ((r.IsMatch(txt1)) && (dummy.Length < 36))
                      {
                          insert1 = txt1;
                      }
                      else
                      {
                          Label13.Visible = true;
                          Label13.Text = "*Please Enter Only Letters In for First Name and less than 35 Chacters*";
                          break;
                      }
  

  My text boxes are being filled with:

  txt1 = System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox

  Alright it now shows the txt1 = Ryan (for example)

   

  but its still throwing an error with my regex:

  Regex r = new Regex("^[a-zA-Z]*$");

  It doesn't pass the if statment. Its getting a false reading. (not passing the regex test)

  try:

  public bool IsAllLetters(string input)
  {
      return Regex.IsMatch(input, "^[a-zA-Z]+$");
  }
