i am using EmptyDataTemplate for entering new data in grid while there is no existing data,but i am not able to find my controls in the EmptyDateTemplate

protected void gvNavigationDtls_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName.Equals("EInsert"))
        {
            GridViewRow emptyrow = gvNavigationDtls.Controls[0].Controls[0] as GridViewRow;
            if (((TextBox)emptyrow.FindControl("txtCode")).Text == "")

in page load also i checked by writing following code

gvNavigationDtls.DataBind();
            Control c = gvNavigationDtls.Controls[0].FindControl("txtCode");
            if (c != null)
            {
            }

but c is null,that means i am not able to find control to use it, Please help,Thanks in Advance

Actually, just had this problem and it's really easy to find access the data but it's in the RowDataBound event.

    Protected Sub grdView(sender As Object, e As GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles grdView.RowDataBound
        If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.EmptyDataRow Then
            Dim txt As TextBox = e.Row.FindControl("txtBox")
            txt.Text = "Hey, this works!"
        End If
    End Sub
