User Control

[Sansari71]

I have created a user control which is basically just like the include file in the old asp code.
userform.ascx looks like this

<%@ Control Language="c#" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="userform.ascx.cs" Inherits="user.userform" TargetSchema="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5"%>
<TR>
  <td><font color="red" size="bold">*</font> User Name</td>
  <td><asp:textbox id="userName" MaxLength="50" 
                  Runat="server"></asp:textbox></td>
</TR>
<TR>
  <td><font color="red" size="bold">*</font> Password</td>
  <td><asp:textbox id="password" MaxLength="50" Runat="server" TextMode="Password"></asp:textbox></td>
</TR>

mainpage.aspx looks like this. To save space, I have just put the code that is linked to this question:

<%@ Reference Control="userform.ascx" %>
.
.
.
.
</tr>
<asp:PlaceHolder id="userHolder" Runat="server"></asp:PlaceHolder>
<tr>
.
.
.

In the userform.ascx.cs Page_Load routine I have the following code:

Control UserInfo = LoadControl("userform.ascx");
userHolder.Controls.Add(UserInfo);

Now how can I check what the value of user name and password is from the main.aspx? Thanks in advance

Have you tried:

UserInfo.userName.Text

I haven't tested that, but its worth a shot. If thats not correct, there is probably another property or method you can use and just pass it the name of the control you are looking for.

I was able to get the solution I wanted:
Here is what I did:
In the
mainpage.aspx, I change the code to look like this:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="tag" TagName="addUser" Src="userform.ascx" %>

.
.
.
.
</tr>
<tag:addUser id="userInfo" Runat="server"></tag:addUser>
<tr>
.
.
.

In userform.ascx.cs I added the following line:

protected userForm userInfo;

I also had to write get and set for each textbox in the ascx file, but now it works fine
