Question : Unable to find control

Hi

I have an aspx page(see code section). As you can see in the code there is a calendar control.

I am accessing the calender control in rowdatabound

[code]
protected void grvOnRowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
e.Row.Cells[0].Visible = false;
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
Label lblCalenderDate = (Label)e.Row.FindControl("lblEmployeeBday");
TextBox txtBDate = (TextBox)e.Row.FindControl("txtDataBirth");

lblCalenderDate.Text = " + txtBDate.ClientID + "','imgCalendar');\" " +
"href=\"javascript:void(null);\"> " +
"

";

}

}

[\code]
but the control txtBDate returns null value. Am I missing something.

Please let me know if you need more elaboration.
