FindControl Inside accordion ContentTemplate

我有一个手风琴，在内容模板中我放置了下拉列表。我正在使用Accordion1_ItemDataBound将数据表绑定到下拉列表。主要问题是我找不到下拉列表。

<ContentTemplate>
                                <table border="0" width="490px" style="background-color: transparent">
                                    <tr>
                                        <td>
                                        </td>
                                    </tr>
                                    <tr>
                                        <td align="right">
                                            <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtNotes" TextMode="MultiLine" Height="100px" Width="200px"></asp:TextBox>
                                        </td>
