Dynamic User control load get a parameter
-
Your core issue as far as I can see, is that you are setting your property in page load, which is too early. Trying to do it in the prerender event may solve your issue, but I still don't get why a user control is needed to change a setting on the aspx

I'm sorry I don't explain myself so good (my english is not SO good)... For me it is simple - I have a usercontrol..... Normally i would do this....... <crm:SetProject runat="server" id="SetProject" ProjectId="500" /> on an aspx page to load the usercontrol with the parameter ProjectId = 500 - I then in the user control can use the 500 to do something with this..... My problem is - when I do it this way - the parameter will always be 500 - And I don't know what the parameter is at page load time....... I first know what the parameter is when I hit a button on the page........ So when I hit the button - I need to make an instans of the usercontrol with the parameter ProjectId="9999"

So, you set it in code when you create the control. ProjectId must be a public property, or it would not be available from the aspx. Why can't you just set it in code ?

Now we are getting to my problem........ I don't know how to set it when I create the control..... I tried many things but each time it sais - it dosn't know the SetProject.ProjectId.... I use these to lines to create the control from codebehind....
Control setproject = (Control)LoadControl("~/UserControls/TestSetProject.ascx");
phNewProjectEdit.Controls.Add(setproject);But when I then try to make a setproject.ProjectId the system cannot find the ProjectId - the error sais something like this: System.Web.UI.Control doesn't contain a definition of 'ProjectId'

There is your problem. The Control class does not contain this property. You need to cast to the type of your specific control, to be able to access the properties that exist in your control and not the base class.

I don't understand that you say that the control doesn't contain this property..... If you see the ascx.cs you can se I have made a public property?

{
private string _ProjectId = "";public string ProjectId { get { return \_ProjectId; } set { \_ProjectId = value; } } protected void Page\_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { lblEditProjectNameHeadline.Text = ProjectId; }}

You should buy a book on OO and read it then. You are creating an instance of your control, but your local reference, is a reference to a base class. It therefore does not know that the class instance is a specific derived class, it could be any class derived from Control. Until you cast it up to the class thhat contains that property, it will not be visible. If you do this: ((UserControls_TestSetProject )myControl).ProjectId = "Blah"; it will work, assuming your variable is called myControl. For the reasons I have explained.

Thank you very very much...... It was what I needed...... Now I only have to figure out, how I get it without to have to push the button twice (I know it's becauce of the page_load comes before the btnPush_Click and I have to make an instans of the user control each time I load the page) I wil use some times of this problem before I get back to this forum for help.... But again thank you very much for your help. It helped me very much :-)

I have a problem how I get the user controls parameter from codebehind (when I make a dynamic instans of this) on the page. My user control ascx file:
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="TestSetProject.ascx.cs" Inherits="UserControls_TestSetProject" %>
<center><h3><asp:Label ID="lblEditProjectHeadline" runat="server" Text="Projektdetaljer for"></asp:Label>
<asp:Label ID="lblEditProjectNameHeadline" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label></h3></center><br />My user control ascx.cs file:
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Collections;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;public partial class UserControls_TestSetProject : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
private string _ProjectId = "";
public string ProjectId
{
get { return _ProjectId; }
set { _ProjectId = value; }
}protected void Page\_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { lblEditProjectNameHeadline.Text = ProjectId; }}
My test aspx page:
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MPHead.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Test.aspx.cs" Inherits="Content_Test" Title="Untitled Page" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">

<asp:Button ID="btnPush" runat="server" Text="Push me" OnClick="btnPush_Click" />

Control setproject = LoadControl("~/UserControls/TestSetProject.ascx");
phNewProjectEdit.Controls.Add(setproject);} protected void btnPush\_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { lblNewProjectEditProjectId.Text = "15855"; }You aren't setting the ProjectId property on the control when you create it. Try moving everything to the button's click event, like this: protected void btnPush_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { UserControls.TestSetProject setproject = (UserControls.TestSetProject)LoadControl("~/UserControls/TestSetProject.ascx"); setproject.ProjectId = "15855" phNewProjectEdit.Controls.Add(setproject); }

Like I said, call it in the prerender event instead, it comes after the button clicks
