                                <tr>
                                <td>
                                <asp:Label ID="labelname" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("name") %>'></asp:Label>
                                </td>

Solution 1

Have you tried finding the datalist on the ItemCreated event, like this?

protected void DataList1_ItemCreated(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)
{
   DataList dt = (DataList)e.Item.FindControl("datalist2");
}

Just an improvement to the above solutions .......

C#

protected void DataList1_ItemCreated(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)
      {
          if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
          {
              DataList dt = (DataList)e.Item.FindControl("datalist2");
          }
      }
