Interesting. Does it mean I can do something like

FormView frmRegular = (FormView) this.Page.FindControl("myFormViewName")
if ...

Where can I use this type of the code? Is it possible in Load method?

I have GeneralInformation user control that contains gender among other controls. I want to be able to attach some client side logic to changing gender. So, I may add attribute in the Load method for onchange. I can also add some custom JavaScript function to our master.js file that would try to set custom JavaScript property for the custom autosuggestbox we're using.
