I know this has probably been asked before, but I can't seem to find a solid
answer in any of the archives. First, before my question, please forgive my
limited knowledge of the event lifecycle and page loading/rendering
lifecycle....
Ok, now for the question:
I have an ASPX page (page.aspx), and I have a UserControl (control.ascx).
The UserControl has one textbox on the control, and one button control.
I have added a public property (with GET and SET) to the UserControl called
"MyVal".
Inside the Page_Load method for the UserControl, I have the following:
MyVal = TextBox1.Text 'To put the value of the TextBox1.Text into the
Property.
What I would like to have happen is this:
I would like for the ASPX page to be able to "get" the Public Property value
"MyVal" from the UserControl either on Page_Load, or Page_Init, or
Page_PreRender, just after a PostBack event.
However, no matter what example I try, I cannot seem to retrieve the value
from the UserContorl, the CodeBehind in Page_Load for the ASPX page does not
recognize the object "MyControl1", so I am unable to "get" the property.
Here's the ideal scenario:
1. Page initially loads showing the textbox and the button (from the
usercontrol).
2. User types some value into the textbox.
3. User clicks on Submit.
4. UserControl updates the "MyVal" property with whatever they typed into
the box.
5. ASPX Page takes the value from the Property "MyVal" and adds the value
to a text file.
Can anyone point me to some examples of how this can be done? I have seen
MANY examples of how an ASPX page can SET a property before the control is
rendered, but none for a way to GET a property from a control on postback...
Thanks.
