Child Control Properties

[VBAHole22]

How can I set the Text property of a child textbox control in a panel control on an asp.net web form?

I have panel1 and it has textBox5 in it. I want to set the text in textbox5 to "Hello". How do you do this?

I know how you can't do it and this is what I have been trying:

Dim ctl As System.Web.UI.WebControl
Dim child As TextBox
ctl = FindControl("panel1")
child = CType(ctl.Controls(1), TextBox)
child.Text = "Hey"

This always gives an inavlid cast for child. I tried webControl.TextBox with the same results.

Any suggestions?

Dim child As TextBox
ctl = FindControl("panel1")
child = CType(ctl.Controls.FindControl("textBox5"), TextBox) 
child.Text = "Hey"
