You have to use the FindControl method to find a control.

TextBox txtEmail = (TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("ControldID");

This is because the controls that are in the DataBound Controls are not directly accessible. To Access these controls, you have to use the FindControl method and cast it in appropriate control.
