title: Get DateTime Value from TextBox in FormView
body: <p>I need to find a value in a TextBox, contained within a FormView which holds a short date.</p>
  
  <pre><code>DateTime LastPayDate = (DateTime)FormView1.FindControl("user_last_payment_date");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>CS0030: Cannot convert type 'System.Web.UI.Control' to 'System.DateTime'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And, I have no idea how to put a value back in the same format. Would love some help, pulling my hair out and their isn't much left.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
