Hello @Prashant if you use Label1 in the datalist then first you need to find the Label1 for perticular row of datalist and then you can access it.

for example:
protected void DataList1_ItemCommand(object source, DataListCommandEventArgs e)
{
string name = ((Label)(DataList1.Items[e.Item.ItemIndex].FindControl("Label1"))).Text.Trim();
Session["name"] = name;
}

If you don't use the Label1 with in the datalist then please provide your code.
thanks.

If your problem is solved then please accept my answer

Hi Prashant,

Please check label control id is "Label1" or not and runat ="server"

If yes it is wokring
string name = Label1.Text.Trim();
Session["name"] = name;
If NO error is comming like 'The name 'Label1' does not exits in the current context'

Option 1:
Put below code in partial class of index.aspx.designer.cs page

///
/// myLbl control.
///
///
/// Auto-generated field.
/// To modify move field declaration from designer file to code-behind file.
///
protected global::System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label myLbl;

Here myLbl is ID of your Label.
myLbl" >

Option 2:
If above above option doesn't work then follow below:

Take backup of designer file and delete designer file from Visual studio. You can try to right click on the project and select "Convert to Web Application". When this is done you should see that you now have a *.Designer.cs file available and your controls within the Design HTML will be available for your control.
