I have a problem as I have placed a dropdownlist in a datalist.

Whenever the selected index changes I need to change a label inside
the datalist.

The problem is I can't get control of the label.

When dropdownlist changes it goes to a function with args of
systemEvent than a DataListItemEventArgs so I have no way getting
control of the item in the datalist to change the label.

Can someone please help me.

Label l = (Label)DataList.Items[e.Item.ItemIndex].Controls[CotrolNumber];

Thanks for your help but I was wondering where do I get the control
number?
Also the e.Item.Index how will it work outside the a datalist command
as the eventargs passed in aren't DataListItemEventArgs, but EventArgs
(since its responding to a change in the dropdownlist).
