I am working with the listview control. By default I am showing the itemtemplate with an edit button. When the edit button is pressed the listview switches to the edititemte
I don't know about previous editions but in Visual Studio 2010 you can easily access the edit item trhough the "ListView.EditItem" property like this:
private void myListView_ItemEditing(object sender, ListViewEditEventArgs e)
{
myListView.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex;
myListView.DataBind();
ListViewItem lvwItem = lvwLista.EditItem;
ListBox tempLB = (ListBox) lvwItem.FindControl("ListBox3");
}
