[RESOLVED] [2.0] Accessing user control's elements

I have a page that loads in a few usercontrols into a datagrid. Each control has it's own values etc.
What I was wondering, if from the parent page, can I somehow access the values in those usercontrols?

Example of what I mean, say I load in 2 usercontrols, uc1 will have first name and last name and uc2 will have the same, but with different values, from the page that loads
in the usercontrol, can I somehow get first name and last name from each control?

Sorry if that doesn't make sense...kind of hard to explain(I can try to clarify if need be). Any ideas?

Make properties in the UserControl that return those values, mark the properties public so you can have access from another project or application

Sure, I left out a few details, sorry. That was my plan, problem is...the usercontrols are in a subfolder with a different namspace.
I thought, sure enough, access it like so: namespace.subnamespace.class
With no avail, although within the usercontrols class...namespace.subnamespace.class works. I thought all namespaces were public therefore I could access them that way?

If you have an instance variable what's stopping you accessing the members of the instance normally?

The usercontrol is loaded into a datalist(which is loaded when the edit button in the datagrid is clicked). So it does something like...

Code:

---

DataList dt = (DataList)e.Item.FindControl("dlname");
dt.ItemTemplate = Page.LoadTemplate("path");

---

So, I'm not quite sure how to get an instance?

Thanks for the replies thus far, greatly appreciated. :)

Ok, I think i've got it with nested FindControl(). I needed to start at the parent and work my way down.

Thanks for the input :)
