    How to - DataList, FindControl, HTMLTableCell [Resolved]

    My WebControls.DataList contains an HTML Table (5 rows, 3 cols) with either an ASP Label, Image or HyperLink in the cell. Using this FindControl code in the DataList_ItemDataBound event , I can modify the properties of these controls no problem.

    Code:
    Dim CompanyLink As HyperLink = CType(e.Item.FindControl("hlnkCompanyName"), HyperLink)

CompanyLink.Text = oData("CompanyName")
    But I am trying to set the Background property of a specific cell depending on the contents of a field. However, I can't seem to "find" the HTMLTableCell that I need to modify using

    Code:
    Dim LinksCell As HtmlTableCell = CType(e.Item.FindControl("tdLinksCell"), HtmlTableCell)
    The LinksCell variable is always nothing. Anyone know how this works?
