Access Control inside GridView Pager Template - ASP.NET

Question

Hi,

I am trying to access a LinkButton that is inside a PagerTemplate in a GridView.

However, I am getting a NullReferenceException and I don't know what I am doing wrong here.

I have tried the following...

((LinkButton)GridView1.BottomPagerRow.FindControl("lnkbtnPrevious"));
((LinkButton)GridView1.FindControl("lnkbtnPrevious"));

Can someone please help?

Thanks!
