Wonder if someone can help me? Am V new to ASP.NET and learning very slowly

I have a detailsview control and in it I have asp:textbox fields (Via a ItemTemplate).. I have created this sub and want it to auto populate the textbox's on page load....

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
            dteCommentDate.Text = My.Computer.Clock.LocalTime.Date
            txtPostId.Text = Request.QueryString("news")
        End If
End Sub

Now the weird this is its asking me to declare dteCommentDate & txtPostId which are textbox's in my Details view..

BUT when I tried it out this code with just normal asp:textbox not in a details view control

<script runat="server">
    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        TextBox1.Text = My.Computer.Clock.LocalTime.Date
    End Sub
</script>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">
    <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</asp:Content>

This works fine

... I am very confused can someone shed some light please??

Childcontrol of that nature are not exposed to the designer. Use:

Dim x As New TextBox
x = DetailsView1.FindControl("dteCommentDate")
x.Text = My.Computer.Clock.LocalTime.Date
