Accessing FormView elements in code (VB)

I am building a form that inserts data into the database from values entered into a FromView hooked to a dataset object and wish to automatically upload a file at the same time that I save the filename to the database. The problem is that in this sub ArticleFileTextBox, a valid object within the FormView, is not recognized as a defined element and if I move the file-upload control within the formview it also disappears and .NET doesn't know how to reference it. If someone could show me the tiny stupid thing I'm doing wrong so I can get this to work I'd sure appreciate it!!!


My code:

Protected Sub InsertButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

If FileUpload1.HasFile Then
Try

ArticleFileTextBox.text = FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName

'How do I address this textbox (above)? I need to change it's value to the
'name of the file and save that in the database
'there's a FileUpload2 in the form but I can't access it, either
'I figure the answer is the same for both, some notation I don't know

FileUpload1.SaveAs('e:\web\elecom00001\htdocs\data\docs\' & _
FileUpload1.FileName)
Label1.Text = 'File name: ' & _
FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName & '' & _
'File Size: ' & _
FileUpload1.PostedFile.ContentLength & ' kb' & _
'Content type: ' & _
FileUpload1.PostedFile.ContentType
Catch ex As Exception
Label1.Text = 'ERROR: ' & ex.Message.ToString()
End Try
Else
Label1.Text = 'You have not specified a file.'
End If
End Sub
End Class

 

I've asked a few experts and no one knows, apparently you cannot address an object within an object in the .NET component structure. Feel free to show me how if it's possible.

 

Can you also post the ASPX codeso we can see how the controls are nested.

I don't see a control named ArticleFileTextBox on the page.
