Nested Usercontrols 1

[Badgers]

Hi,

I have a contacts system where by I have the following :

1. A consuming aspx page

2. Within the consuming page a number of usercontrols :

2.1 Address (usercontrol)
2.2 Bank Details (usercontrol)

The problem I have is that when I am in Bank Details usercontrol I am submitting data to the database, but some elements of data are contained on the Address usercontrol.

How can I get to to this.

Thanks in advance.

You can create Public properties in your user controls which you can set from your aspx page.

Yes I know that - but I want to whilst in the code behind of the band details usercontrol to access a property on the Address usercontrol - is this possible ?

 

[ca8msm]

Yes, via the method I suggested. Your aspx page is the common link between the two user controls so you can get a reference to the page, then from there find your other user control.

Ar right - do you have a code sample of that ? I've tried something like that before but never got it working ?

 

[ca8msm]

Something like this:

CType(Me.Page.FindControl("OtherUserControlID"), OtherOtherControlType).ExampleProperty = "Test"

Yep I see how that works, this is where I have got stuck before:

1. If you reference (FINDCONTROL) an object in the parent page like a html button, you can because you can cast it to that type.

The problem is, the unique usercontrol id doesnot appear in intellisence, so therefore you can't cast it to that type and then not be able to manipulate any properties. ???

If you are using version 2.0 you can add a Reference directive at the top of your page to point to the user control.
