Property in control

[HotBob]

Hi there I have a control called Search and in that control I have a property such as:

    Dim _Source As String
    Public Property Source() As String
        Get
            Return _Source
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As String)
            _Source = Value
        End Set
    End Property

In my main page I first have to reference the control

Public search1 As New Search

Then in my page load event I want to set the property, such as

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        'Put user code to initialize the page here
        search1.source = "../MyPage.aspx"
End Sub

However the property doesn't hold the value so the return value is empty. Any ideas?

Did you drag and drop the control from the solution explorer to the form?

Yes I did.

It recognises the fact that there is a control. But when I use

search1.source = "../MyPage.aspx"

The property doesn't hold the value

So the return is always nothing.

Any ideas?

How are you trying to access the property once you set it?

 

[TipGiver]

If you put in a button: Response.Write(me.search1.source) what happens when you press it?

>>How are you trying to access the property once you set it?
