Retrieve textbox text in datalist edit C#

[mchenrr]

I have created a datalist to perform CRUD functions. I can add and delete just fine, but getting the text from the textboxes and dropdownlist in the datalist edit mode is a problem. I have experience doing this in VB.Net but this is the first time I've tried it in C#. The textbox text being returned is the original text bound to the control in the edititem template. Here is my code for that process and the datalist...

void Update_Command (object s, DataListCommandEventArgs e)
{
string bName, bShortName, bDesc;
int bID, bComments, bMaxComments, bPublic, bIncludeSearch, bDefCat;

bName = ((TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("txtName")).Text;
bShortName = ((TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("txtShortName")).Text;
bDesc = ((TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("txtDesc")).Text;

bID = Convert.ToInt32(((Label)e.Item.FindControl("lblID")).Text);
bComments = Convert.ToInt32(((TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("txtComments")).Text);
bMaxComments = Convert.ToInt32(((TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("txtMaxComments")).Text);
bPublic = Convert.ToInt32(((TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("txtPublic")).Text);
bIncludeSearch = Convert.ToInt32(((TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("txtIncludeSearch")).Text);
bDefCat = Convert.ToInt32(((DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("ddlDefCat")).SelectedValue);

DataRowView drv = dvBlog[e.Item.ItemIndex];

drv.BeginEdit();
drv["bName"] = bName;
drv["bShortName"] = bShortName;
drv["bDesc"] = bDesc;
drv["bComments"] = bComments;
drv["bMaxComments"] = bMaxComments;
drv["bPublic"] = bPublic;
drv["bIncludeSearch"] = bIncludeSearch;
drv["bDefCat"] = bDefCat;
drv.EndEdit();

odbcCB.DataAdapter = daBlog;
odbcCB.RefreshSchema();

daBlog.Update(dsBlog, "tblblog");
dlBlogs.EditItemIndex = -1;
BindData();

lblMessage.Text = "Updated Blog: " + bName;
}
