Hi All,
I am trying to get the value of the formview label into the label outside the formview.The formview is bound to the database. i am trying to use something like this:
<b>MatchScore.Text = ((Label)FormView2.FindControl("MatchScoreValue")).Text;</b>
where MatchScore is the ID of the label outside and the MatchScoreValue is the ID of the label inside the formview.I tried putting the code in the dataBound event of the FormView but still not working. The value of the MatchScore has to change whenever the formview2 changes.

I am developing a web application and using C# for code behind.
Can you please help me?

Thanks.

I know. Thank you for tagging it. For you, its important that people knowledgeable in relevant fields could have noticed your post looking just at the title and the tags; that's why both should be accurate.

It should be working fine with the below code in databound event

C#

protected void FormView2_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  if (Page.IsPostBack)
  {
    this.MatchScore.Text = ((Label)FormView2.FindControl("MatchScoreValue")).Text;
  }
}
