Web user controls and OO

[MrNorth]

I have a page where I have the same interface for 8 different attributes (2 listboxes, two buttons, one textbox) I added this
stuff in a user control.

But how can I use that user control form code? How do I reference to it? I have a controller class where I need to loop though each of the user controls and do stuff with the buttons and textboxes



kind regards

Expose properties and methods of the control as public.

Create a variable that holds a reference to it, and do what you need to with it.

I see... so basically I can just drag/drop a usercontrol to my page

make an instance of it

dim myControl as new MyUserControl

and then access it by


myControl.Button1.text = "OK"




The reason is that I want to write a method that takes a usercontrol as in parameter, and fill it's listboxes with data...

Is it possible also to make a "for each" so I can loop though all usercontrols on the page/webform?

And a method that takes the usercontrol and save it's data to a database. Not really sure I should be doing that in the controller, but it is a small enough project.
