My bad i didn't pay attention to "i have found the control" thing but to the title "How to Find Control in FormView ItemTemplate". What type of answer do you expect with such a title?

Anyways .. in what event are you fetching the gridview control.. you can do this in Item_created event of formview, just make sure you are not binding formview after binding gridview otherwise it will override gridview.
you can also confirm the datasource is getting attached by "Quick watch" ing gvSizePrice's datasource property after gvSizePrice.DataBind();

Please take care of the title next time and down voting an answer.

Thanks,
Hemant

I dont know I wasnt able to solve it.
But i did it the other way.
I placed my gridview outside the Formview control. And so the need to find it was not there

I think it may be the because of the Different Modes Formview Contain.

Thanks for reply anyways

Solution 3

A little more dynamic (when in a FormView event, like DataBound):

GridView gv = (GridView)((FormView)sender).Row.FindControl("GridView1");
