User Control

[Guest]

I have a label in a user control and I want to be able to modify the text
from the code behind the page using the user control. How can I do this? I've
tried buy using the following code but I receive a message saying the
property is "inaccessable due to it's protection level

a.b.text = "xxx"

"a" = user control id
"b" = label control id

Thanks for the help

Hi!

You have as least 2 solutions:
1) to define your label variable as public
public Label b;
Thus you will be able to access it through your usercontrol form:
a.b.text = "xxx"

2) You can make a property in UserControl which will control changing text
of the label.
e.g.

private Label b;

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

Then you will be able to access to it as follows:
a.LabelText = "xxx"

I prefer the second solution. It gives less control on the label to the end
user of your UserControl. But of cause it depends of the purpose.
