accessing usercontrol from another usercontrol

[Phl]

Hi,

I have a page with many usercontols and I would like to access other
usercontrols from one usercotnrol , so I can access their server
controls. This is how I do it,

EditProfile UserControlep =
(EditProfile)Page.FindControl("EditProfile");

This works when I debug it in my localmachine but doesn't when I have
my page running on my production server. Does anyone know why is this
because the usercontrols ID can get changed by .net? If so, I can't
see the id of of usercontrol in the rendered page anyway, so how can I
access it?

Cheers

Phl,
check out my article which discusses this type of issue:
http://openmymind.net/communication/index.html

i don't talk about using Page.FindControl(), instead I advocate using a
public property in the page that exposes the user control, far more
performant and less likely to cause this type of error..

You can treat usercontrols just like you would treat a class. You must
declare public methods or properties in code that you want to be exposed to
other classes in the usercontrol. By default everything is hidden
