How to refer the controls of a webuser control??

[kvPriya]

Hai, I have a webuser control enriched with some web server controls.In a web form,I have to refer the properties of the controls of webuser control.While I am referring those properties, an error is raising as '.protected dim with events as system.web.ui.webcontrols.textbox' is not accessible in this context because it is 'protected'. Where can I declare the control as public in a web application? and how we can do that? Any suggestions......please welcome... -Priya

U can Refer the controls in the usercontrol by ((controltype)Page.FindControl("controlId") ((Button)Page.FindControl("btnxxx"))

If you want to use the controls of the usercontrol(ascx file), then you have to make them public.

I haven't worked on 2.0 but you can make them public where they have been declared.

Thanq, but I need to refer the controls of web user control in some other .aspx page. Using Page.FindControl() , we can refer the control in the same page.But, how can we refer it at some other web form? -Priya

In 1.1, we can view the designer generated code for a web form. But, for 2.0, I didn't find anywhere such automatic generated code for the control declarations.I am new to the 2.0. Anyway, thanks Kaushal. -Priya

Make a public method in the user control that will modifiy the controls you wish modified.
