Extracting Record from Form View

Question

User564995064 posted

I have an EditItemTemplate with form data in it.  The submit date is in a label.  The code below works except for the submit date.  Any idea what I am doing wrong?

            try
            {
                Record formData = new Record();

                txt = fv.FindControl(String.Format("txtLastname{0}", formMode)) as TextBox;
                formData.LastName = txt.Text;

                txt = fv.FindControl(String.Format("txtFirstname{0}", formMode)) as TextBox;
                formData.FirstName = txt.Text;

                txt = fv.FindControl(String.Format("txtMiddle{0}", formMode)) as TextBox;
                formData.MI = txt.Text;

                DateTimePicker dtp = fv.FindControl(String.Format("dtpDob{0}", formMode)) as DateTimePicker;
                formData.BirthDate = dtp.Value;

                Label lblDateSubmit = fv.FindControl(String.Format("lblSubmitDate{0}", formMode)) as Label;
                formData.DateSubmission = DateTime.Parse(lblDateSubmit.Text.ToString());

                return formData;
            }

html:
                    <td>
                        <asp:Label ID="lblSubmitDate" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("date_submit")%>'></asp:Label>
                    </td>

Originally I had the html as:

<td>
   <%# Eval("date_submit")%>
</td>

but I thought I may need to add a label so I could reference it in the c# code.  As I step through the code, the submit date is blank.  It will not extract the record.

Thanks for any assistance you can give!
