Question

I am having problem in accessing user control properties from page.
I have usercontrol on master page with some properties,but i am unable to access them from the codebehind of the page which uses that master page.i want to set some properties of usercontrol on page load.Can anyone suggest how can i access them from page.

E.G.

User Control

ucTabSystem.ascx has following properties:

 public string TabName
    {
        get { return _tabName; }
        set { _tabName = value; }
    }
 public string TabUrl
    {
        get { return _tabUrl; }
        set { _tabUrl = value; }
    }

Master Page

InHouseTPAMaster.master has this user control in it.

ClaimHomePage.aspx

Uses Master page InHouseTPAMaster.master and i want to set usercontrol properties in page load of this page.

Answer 1

You can use two methods.
The first is by using Page.Master.FindControl(‘controlID’). Then you can cast it to the type of your user control. The second method is by adding a <%@ MasterType VirtualPath=”” TypeName=””%> tag to your aspx page. In the VirtualPath add the virtual path to the master page, and the class in the TypeName. You can then access everything with intellisense
