How to find a control located inside datalist itemtemplate

how do i find the control in my datalist? Even if I use use FindControl, it doesn't work.

    protected void DataList1_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item ||
         e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
        {
            DataRowView drv = (DataRowView)(e.Item.DataItem);

                Label ResponseCatIDLabel = (Label)e.Item.FindControl("ResponseCatIDLabel");
                string res = ResponseCatIDLabel.Text;

                TextBox TextBox1 = (TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("TextBox1");
                string text = TextBox1.Text;

                Label MCQ_TYPELabel = (Label)e.Item.FindControl("MCQ_TYPELabel");
                string mcq = MCQ_TYPELabel.Text;

                RadioButtonList ExcellentRb = (RadioButtonList)e.Item.FindControl("ExcellentRb");
                string excellent = ExcellentRb.Text;

                RadioButtonList YesNoRb = (RadioButtonList)e.Item.FindControl("YesNoRb");
                string yesno = YesNoRb.Text;

                Label RespnseCatIDLabel = (Label)e.Item.FindControl("RespnseCatIDLabel");
                string sqn = RespnseCatIDLabel.Text;              

                if (RespnseCatIDLabel.Text == "")
                {
                    ExcellentRb.Visible = false;
                    YesNoRb.Visible = false;
                }

This is my code for the design code, is there anything wrong?

You are binding the ItemDatabound to wrong method. In markup you have:

 OnItemDataBound="DataList1ItemDataBound"

Change it to:

 OnItemDataBound="DataList1_ItemDataBound"

Because the method that has the code to access controls is:

protected void DataList1_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)

First you need to bind the data list then loop it

foreach ( DataListItem li in DataList1.Items )
{
    TextBox txt= (TextBox) li.FindControl("TextBox1");
}

You might need something like this:

Label MCQ_TYPELabel1 = DataList1.Items[1].FindControl("MCQ_TYPELabel") as Label;

This is working at my end

protected void DataList1_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e) 
{
    Label Label1 = e.Item.FindControl("Label1") as Label;
}
