Setting a user control property on a user control in a asp.net page

[Tokhra]

Hi All,

I have a user control named "Header.ascx", which is the header for my website, within this control there is a leftPanel Panel. In the codebehind for this control I have added the line

System.Web.UI.UserControl SubMenu;

then in the page load I have:

if (SubMenu != null)
{
leftPanel.Controls.Add(SubMenu);
}

So the idea is that, in default.aspx I can include the header control:

<%@ Page language=&quot;c#&quot; Codebehind=&quot;Default.aspx.cs&quot; AutoEventWireup=&quot;false&quot; Inherits=&quot;Bleh.Default&quot; %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix=&quot;Bleh&quot; TagName=&quot;Header&quot; Src=&quot;Controls/Header.ascx&quot; %>


<Bleh:Header runat=&quot;server&quot;></Bleh:Header>

And it adds the Header usercontrol to the default.aspx page..but now I face the problem of setting Header.aspx's SubMenu property..

The point of this is that different pages have different submenus, so I need to be able to change it.

Any ideas how I can set the Header controls SubMenu property when adding it to Default.aspx?

Thanks,
Matt.

Got it, in the page_load on default.aspx I have

Header myControl = (Header) this.Controls[0];
myControl.SubMenu = new Bleh.SubMenus.MySubMenu();

Then the page_load on the Header takes care of adding it to the leftPanel Panel.

That adds the control, but it doesn't display it..

Any ideas?
