Unable to see controls in MainPage.g.cs

I have a simple question about XAML.

I created a grid element inside another grid and added a textblock and a web browser in it. However, I am unable to access it in MainPage.xaml.cs using their name (e.g. this.LastName) doesn't work. On further debugging, I saw that they are not declared in MainPage.g.cs. Since MainPage.g.cs is auto defined, I don't know how to fix it. Can someone help please? Below is my C# and XAML code. Thanks!
========================================================
public partial class MainPage : Microsoft.Phone.Controls.PhoneApplicationPage {
internal System.Windows.Controls.Grid LayoutRoot;
internal System.Windows.Controls.Grid ContentPanel;
internal Microsoft.Phone.Controls.LongListSelector MainLongListSelector;
internal System.Windows.Controls.Image RefreshIcon;
private bool _contentLoaded;

public void InitializeComponent() {
if (_contentLoaded) {
return;
}
_contentLoaded = true;
System.Windows.Application.LoadComponent(this, new System.Uri("/Suod;component/MainPage.xaml", System.UriKind.Relative));
this.LayoutRoot = ((System.Windows.Controls.Grid)(this.FindName("LayoutRoot")));
this.ContentPanel = ((System.Windows.Controls.Grid)(this.FindName("ContentPanel")));
this.MainLongListSelector = ((Microsoft.Phone.Controls.LongListSelector)(this.FindName("MainLongListSelector")));
this.RefreshIcon = ((System.Windows.Controls.Image)(this.FindName("RefreshIcon")));
}

Apparently, LastName is defined, as well as WebBrowser. From your information, it's hard to see what are you missing. Your "this" depends on context... :-)

I'm sorry to tell you this, but the Grid's name was declared within a template. The template is what will be used to create a new Grid, and the name within the template is for template reference only. The same thing goes for that TextBlock and WebBrowser items. The only named items you can access are the ContentPanel, the MainLongListSelector, and the RefreshIcon that's assuming that the ContentPanel item and the other Grid are not inside an other template.

Another way to look at it is this. That template is a cookie cutter that will be applied to each item in MainLongListSelector. So, each item would have a Grid named ContentPanel, a TextBlock named LastName, etc., etc..

I'm sorry that I can't give you an actual solution to your problem, I don't know what you are trying to do besides access those items. The fact that you are trying to use the this keyword to reference the items makes me think that you only expect one instance of the named items to exist, but I don't know if that's because you only expect there to be one item in the selector.
