Hi All,
The problem is that FindControl doesn't search for the controls as expected.
What happens is that when you call FindControl in internal control (let's say
UserControl), the search for the control id is started form the page not from
the internal control. So if you have 2 labels with same ID (for example:
lblTest) - 1st inside the user control and 2nd inside the page itself, when you
call UserControl.FindControl("lblTest") it will return the instance inside the
Page. 

If you override FindControl in your UserControl there is a possibility to enter
infinite loop. 

The attachment contains a project with some code copied from our real life
projects. It has 2 test cases which I think are related i.e. if the bug is
fixed for the first one it will be fixed for the other.

Congratulations for your good work on mono! Please keep it that way :)

Cheers
