handling events inside a userControl

[Guest]

I have a webform that contains a placeholder control that is filled with various usercontrols.
I have an error/info message label on the webform (for interface clenliness). Sometimes the the usercontrol has to populate the message label on the webform. How can I have the webfrom respond to this type of request from the user control?

Thanks

Well, I think your Subject indicates you're thinking in the right direction.
Have the UserControl raise an event, and have the WebForm handle the event.

Actually thats my problem,

How do I have the usercontrol raise the event? And how do I have the webform handle the event. Sorry for being such a newbie

Hey I was glad too to see that you at least realized you needed to raise an event. You'll see some who will suggest setting session variables, and lots of other nasty stuff.

scroll down about 1/4 of the page to "handling events".

Here's a link to download the Microsoft .Net SDK:

It has everything you need, including articles, tutorials, examples, and a
complete reference.
