Current page

[netangel]

A few days ago I saw a great idea in this forum that I can't find now.

Someone was calling a function or method that would interact with some control of the calling page. Inside the method the control was used without sending a reference to the calling page.

Right now I'm using it like:

Private Sub DoSomething(ByVal myPage As Page)
myPage.Textbox1.Text = "Hello World"
End Sub

In that post I saw, the method was something like:
Private Sub DoSomething()
CurrentPage.Textbox1.Text = "Hello World"
End Sub

That red colored word (CurrentPage) is what I'm searching for.

Any ideas? Anyone can find that thread, or just tell me the word?

BTW, it was:

link9 (Programmer) Oct 10, 2002 
current.request.form("fieldName")

should work inside the module, assuming your import

system.web.httpContext

Thanks qwert.

That was what I was looking for. It has just saved me with part of my code, but now I have some other problem: I can't reach controls. On my above sample:

Private Sub DoSomething(ByVal myPage As Page)
Current.Textbox1.Text = "Hello World"
End Sub

I understand that the 'Current' is a sort of interface to all pages, but I'd expect to find a method like 'FindControl' or something similar.

Do you have this control in a datagrid? With datagrid's, it works kinda funny. You can't access it directly... but you can get to it. This is what I found for accessing a datgrid control... but if this is not the context of your control... well... we'll have to look elsewhere.

Dim _item As DataGridItem = dataGridName.Items(0)
Dim t As TextBox = CType((_item.Cells(0).FindControl("controlName&quot, TextBox)

Np. My control lays simply on the page. I just can't access it with the Current keyword, because that keyword may refer to any webform. As I said before it works like a interface. It can't guess on design time what page am I going to call on run time.
Thanx anyway.
