Access Control inside GridView Pager Template - ASP.NET

Question

I am trying to access a LinkButton that is inside a PagerTemplate in a GridView.

However, I am getting a NullReferenceException and I don't know what I am doing wrong here.

I have tried the following...

((LinkButton)GridView1.BottomPagerRow.FindControl("lnkbtnPrevious"));
((LinkButton)GridView1.FindControl("lnkbtnPrevious"));

Can someone please help?

Thanks!

GridViewRow PagerRow = GridView1.BottomPagerRow;
LinkButton b = (LinkButton)PagerRow.FindControl("lnkbtnPrevious"));
