# Finding control on aspx

I have a [aspx page](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/218/how-do-i-create-an-aspx-page-that-periodically-refreshes-itself) which has a few radcomboboxes; radTerm and radOldYear. \

aspx also has a radgrid which is updatable by a WebUserControl ascx. This [Web](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12783/the-ultimate-bunch-of-free-web-design-resources) [user control](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/294/problem-in-access-the-control-inside-the-user-control) has a few radcomboboxes, radName and radNewyr.

In the .ascx.cs, i want to be able to find the comoboxes which are on the promote.aspx. Tried using:

[RadComboBox](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/2212/how-to-add-radcombobox-to-cell-in-a-table-row-cell) tl = (RadComboBox)this.Page.FindControl("radTerm");

Someone please help me find the [controls](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/66/how-to-create-controls-at-run-time-in-csharp-dot-net) on the main page. i am calling them through the webuser control that i [load](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/33737/what-is-meant-by-average-load-time) in the radgrid.

Hi Ankita, \

First, you have to find the promote.ascx [control](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/197/asp-dot-net-repeater-control) on the [page](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13031/why-to-make-a-wikipedia-page), so:

Control promote = (Control)this.Page.FindControl("WhateverYouCalledPromote");

Now that you have found the control, you can search for the control that you want:

RadComboBox tl = (RadComboBox)promote.FindControl("radTerm");
