Cannot see Telerik RadTextBox in my code-behind

I have a RadTextBox and I need my back-end to know the Text of it. However, I get an error when trying to access it from anywhere within my backend:

txtnote does not exist in the current context.

    <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Notes" UniqueName="Notes">
       <ItemTemplate>
          <telerik:RadTextBox ID="txtnote" InputType="Text" Width="100%" Rows="4" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("notes")%>' TextMode="MultiLine"></telerik:RadTextBox>
       </ItemTemplate>
    </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get the Text value of this?

Solution

  • Thanks to @Seano666, I found a solution. This is what I ended up using:

    RadTextBox txtbox = (RadTextBox)item["Notes"].FindControl("txtnote");
string WhatIWantedToFind = txtbox.Text;

    Thanks.
