>I don't have the Telerik stuff and I see the RadComboBoxItem overrides the native WebControl.FindControl() method (http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet/combobox/radcombobox-telerik.webcontrols.radcomboboxitem-findcontrol.html) without descibing how the behaviour is changed. Anyway it's not clear to me where you're problem really lies.
>Are there no items in the radModels collection?
>If there are does .FindControl("chk1") return anything before the cast?

Hi Viv

radModels has an item count of 0 so I assume I'm not getting it correctly.
