Ascx Question

[jesus4u]

I have included an ASCX in Page A. What I want to do is tell the ASCX file which page it is on so that it will use that criteria to do a DB lookup.

Anyone? help...

Will Me.Name work?

Just a quick guess as I'm wandering by the thread...

No such thing. I want the parent name

Sorry wishful thinking on my part...

Well I do know that at a minimum you can extract it from Request.FilePath but there's got to be a better .Netty way...

C#:

// This gets the pagename that the control is on.  The format is:
// ASP.MyPage_aspx
string pageName = this.Page.ToString();
pageName = pageName.Substring(4, pageName.Length - 4);
pageName = pageName.Substring(0, pageName.Length - 5);
// Now the pageName variable should just hold 'MyPage' 

VB.Net:

Dim pageName = Me.Page.ToString()
pageName = pageName.Substring(4, pageName.Length - 4)
pageName = pageName.Substring(0, pageName.Length - 5)

Or you can use something like this:
Request.Path.ToString()

It will get you the full path and page of your current page.
