programmatically access a control in ItemTemplate

How do I programmatically access a control inside the ItemTemplate of a DataList control? I want to set the .Visible property of a button depending on if the user is currently logged in or not.

Here's the ItemTemplate element of my DataList control. It contains a label and a button (btnEdit). The btnEdit is what I want to set visible/invisible (in the Page_Load event):

VB Code:

<ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Label id="lblName" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Name") %>'>
    </asp:Label><BR>
 
    <asp:Button id="btnEdit" Text="Edit" Runat="server" CommandArgument='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "EmployeeID") %>' CommandName="Edit">
    </asp:Button>
</ItemTemplate>

I just need the syntax to access the btnEdit control which is inside the ItemTemplate of a Datalist.

Thanks,
Greg

This code bit should show you what you need. Needs to be in the DataGrid's ItemDataBound event.

  if(e.Item.FindControl("btnDelete") != null)
      ((Button) e.Item.FindControl("btnDelete")).Attributes.Add("onClick", "return confirm('Are you sure you wish to delete this item?');");
