This question is related to ASP WebApplication , I have a FormView on the
Page and the FormView has Templates like InsertItemTemplate,
EditItemTemplate etc. on the InsertItemTemplate i have a control named

FormView1.InsertItemTemplate.InsertTemplate.TextBoxLastName

what is the method of referencing the controls "TextBoxLastName" in code

TIA

You cannot reference controls in templated container directly, use

TextBox textBox = (TextBox) formView.FindControl("TextBoxLastName");

hope this helps
