ASP.NET/C# How to access a list item of an unordered list using server runat =?

I have a ul list with a number of list items, for example:

<ul>
<li runat="server" id="liOne">one</li>
<li runat="server" id="liTwo">two</li>
<li runat="server" id="liThree">three</li>
</ul>

On page load, I need to set visible or invisible list items.

For some reason, I cannot access them in C # code. Also, no list items are created for the designer file. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get this to work?

I am getting this error:

The name 'liOne' does not exist in the current context

Many thanks.

It should work. Try to repair and restart visual studio.



Then try deleting the designer file and right-clicking on the page and choosing "Convert to Web Application" if it's already a web application.

Your code might be wrapped in some server control that doesn't allow direct links by ID. If so, you can access your internals of that shell by writing this:

var li = wrapperElement.FindControl ("liOne") as HtmlGenericControl;



Hope it helps.
