I created a user control in Asp.Net which I populate with <asp:Table id = "...." />
this table has columns that contain dropdownlists, textfields and other web controls…
In the code behind I am not able to access these web controls, is there a way I can access them…….or I shouldn’t be doing that in the code behind of the user control???
here is my ascx code markup:
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="MarriageControl.ascx.cs" %>
<%@ Register assembly="BasicFrame.WebControls.BasicDatePicker" namespace="BasicFrame.WebControls" tagprefix="BDP" %>

in my code behind (ascx.cs) i am trying to fill the dropdown with data … I just can’t
type the id of anything I have and use it.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
//appropriate connection start
dataBaseConnection = new SqlConnection();
dataBaseConnection.ConnectionString = @"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=E:\ChurchApp\ChurchApplication\App_Data\Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True";
dataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM Country");
ds = new DataSet();
dataAdapter.Fill(ds, "CountryTable");
}
I have figured out the problem by checking every single line.
The problem is in this line I was missing the inherits attribute
