Web control problems

[Bodybag]

This may sound rather stupid but i must be missing something.When i create a web control and drag onto a web form.How do i access it from my form code. It does not create instance of the control.I have used the findcontrol method .But it seems like a long way around .Is there no other way.

 

What i want to do is use it like any normal web control ex dropdownlist.

You can declare a variable in the code-begind of the same name and type

 

e.g. If you drag a webcontrol of type mycontrol onto a webpage and it has the name mycontrol1 in the code behind declare it as

protected mycontrol1 as mycontrol

The following is what i did.Basicly the same so there is no other way.

 

 

Protected myWEBcontrol1 As WebUserControl1

 

Private Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Init

'CODEGEN: This method call is required by the Web Form Designer

'Do not modify it using the code editor.

myWEBcontrol1 = CType(Me.FindControl("MYWEBCONTROL1"), WebUserControl1)

 

 

InitializeComponent()

 

 

 

End Sub

 

#End Region

 

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

'Put user code to initialize the page here

 

Me.myWEBcontrol1.Button1.Text = "DD"

 

 

 

End Sub

If you declare it like you have you shouldn't need the find control bit.

I will try that.
