Solution 1

If you are using in the datalist events then

Label Label1 = e.Item.FindControl("Label1") as Label;
string lblValue=Label1.Text;

Other than datalist events

C#

foreach (DataListItem dli in DataList1.Items)
            {
               Label Label1 = e.Item.FindControl("Label1") as Label;
               string lblValue=Label1.Text;
}

Solution 2

Using FindControl method?

Try:

VB

//VB.NET
Dim lblId As Label = CType(Item.FindControl("lblId"),Label)

C#

// C#
Label lblId = new Label();
lblId = (Item.FindControl("lblId")) as Label;
