Solution 1

Please see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.control.parent%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^].

In your case, this is making several step of taking a parent until you reach the control you are interested it.

Alternatively, you can simply find the control instance you need id and cast it to the expected control type.

can't work, did you get example.

I have no idea what do you mean by "can't work". If something can't work in your code, please show it.
If you simply don't understand this simple answer, please explain what exactly.
