hi, How to access a web user's control method & property that is placed on webform.aspx. Regards, aB
A user control block should be present on the page if using Vis studio Simply select it and use properties window.

Hmm, I tried adding things to a drop list and its a lot harder than it seems. Most responses tend to be to set the values in the properties box. This doesnt always work and of course you dont have access to the properties. You could try setting them from within the actual ascx page. Otherwise you will need to do something like the following to manually populate the ddl's
DropDownList5.Items.Clear(); ListItem li5 = new ListItem("",""); DropDownList5.Items.Add(li5); foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables["times"].Rows) { //Some code to fills rows} That should do the job. -

????? What do you mean? Youre not making much sense. Sorry! Do you mean that no values / text is displayed in the drop down list?

ok,
string temp = DropDownList3.SelectedItem.Value;to get data from drop list. Then you need to tellMyButton_click()to return the value. So something like:return temp; -

hi, i have found another way to do this: #1) By default DDlist in MYCTR.ASCX is "protected" change it "Public" #2) In default.ASPX, load the control using NewCtr=Loadcontrol("MyCTR.ascx") method #3) ... and now i can access Newctr.DDlist.selecteditem.text Actually this is what i was expecting... thanks for you great support Regards aBaste

Hi, are their any benefits or otherwise to loading the control in this manner compared to the conventional method i described earlier? Just interested.

why are you using Loadcontrol method? This is not a good sense. Just put the definition for this control like other controls. for ex: ASPX ==== <%@ Register TagPrefix="Mycomp" TagName="ctl" Src="MYCTR.ascx" %> ... "MyComp:Ctl id="MYT" runat="server" /> CodeBehind =========== protected ctl MYT; in the control definition part. Now u can use MYT.DDlist.selecteditem.text Regards R.Arockiapathinathan
