+# Accessing Controls Inside Templates
+
+
+
+The following example demonstrates how to find **RadDropDownList** control nested in a NodeTemplate of a **RadNavigation**.
+
+Here follows the markup:
+
+````ASPNET
+<telerik:RadNavigation runat="server" ID="RadNavigation1" Skin="Silk">
+    <Nodes>
+        <telerik:NavigationNode Text="Node with RadDropDownList">
+            <NodeTemplate>
+                <telerik:RadDropDownList ID="RadDropDownList1" runat="server"></telerik:RadDropDownList>
+            </NodeTemplate>
+        </telerik:NavigationNode>
+    </Nodes>
+</telerik:RadNavigation>
+````
+
+
+
+## How to find RadDropDownList object server-side
+
+You need to search for the RadDropDownList in the Controls collection of the RadNavigation's nodes:
+
+
+
+````C#
+	
+RadDropDownList dropDownList = (RadDropDownList)RadNavigation1.Nodes[0].FindControl("RadDropDownList1");
+	          
+````
+````VB.NET
+	 
+Dim dropDownList As RadDropDownList = DirectCast(RadNavigation1.Nodes(0).FindControl("RadDropDownList1"), RadDropDownList)
+				
+````
+
+
+## How to find RadDropDownList object client-side
+
+Here are the available options to find the RadTreeView object in RadComboBox, on the client:
+
+````JavaScript
+	
+var dropDownList = $find("<%= RadNavigation1.FindNodeByText("Node with RadDropDownList").FindControl("RadDropDownList1").ClientID %>");
+
+````
+
