User Control

Hi!
I am developing an asp.net application using c#.

I have made a User Control which has a dropdownlist box. I have included that dropdownlist in my page through the following code in my page_load event.

Code:

---

Control myControl =(Control)Page.LoadControl (DropDownList.ascx");
Panel1.Controls.Add(myControl);

---

Now, I want to access the items of the dropdownlist in my page. How to do that.

Viewing source of the page shows me this:

HTML Code:

---

<select name="_ctl0:cboDataBase" id="_ctl0_cboDataBase" style="width:144px;">
                <option selected="selected" value="gsportal">gsportal</option>
                <option value="test">test</option>
</select>

Add a wrapped property to your user control that exposes the Items Property of your ddl. Then simply

Code:

---

TheUserControl ctl = (TheUserControl)FindControl("itsid");
ctl.Item[0]....
