Access child user control's property in parent user control

Question

I have included a user control in another statically following code :

---

place the folowing directive in the asp code of the parent page or usercontrol:

<%@ Register src="Name_of_your_child_control.ascx" tagname="Name_of_your_child_control" tagprefix="uc1" %>

use the following tag in the asp-code of the parent page/control:

<uc1:Name_of_your_child_control ID="Name_of_your_child_control1" runat="server" />

..... But the issue is...i am not able to access the public properties of user control which got included(child user control) in given user control(parent user control)...

Please help :(

Answer 1

Using

Name_of_your_child_control1.PublicPropertyName

must work for your parent user control.

Answer 2

Say your usercontrol was this:

<%@ Control Inherits="Project.MyControl" Codebehind="MyControl.ascx.cs" %>
<asp:TextBox ID="TB" runat="server" />

Your control code-behind:

namespace Project 
{
  public partial class MyControl : UserControl
  {
    public string MyTextProperty
    {
      get { return TB.Text; }
      set { TB.Text = value; }
    }
  }
}

In your parent page that included the control, like this:

<%@ Register src="~/MyControl.ascx" tagname="MyControl" tagprefix="uc1" %>
<uc1:MyControl ID="MyControlID" runat="server" />

You can use that property in code:

MyControlID.MyTextProperty = "bob";

Answer 3

Check the path and file names you are using, Anish. You have something wrong. Is Visual Studio telling you it can't find the control? Is it failing at compile time? Runtime?
