How to access usercontrol's values from page?

Question

Hi I've created user control named test.ascs with one textbox. Now I added this user control in my default.aspx page. How can i access that textbox value from my default.aspx page?

is there any chance?

Answer 1

From your default page try to find the TextBox using your user control.

TextBox myTextBox = userControl.FindControl("YourTextBox") as TextBox;
string text = myTextBox.text;

Answer 2

If this is the purpose of the control, then create a public property on your user control that exposes this value, you can then access that from your page:

string textBoxValue = myUserControl.GetTheValue;

Answer 3

I usually expose the textbox's text property directly in test.ascx code behind like this:

public string Text
{
    get { return txtBox1.Text; }
    set { txtBox1.Text = value; }
}

Then you can get and set that textbox from the code behind of default.aspx like:

usrControl.Text = "something";
var text = usrControl.Text;
