Question

I have a web application that assigns time duration to students in a day. kind of a scheduler.

so for this i have a user control as TimePeriod and this control is loaded dynamically on the web page.

But the number of that user control on a page varies so for this i have user a code that dynamically creates a list of user control.

For example purpose i have set i value up to 2, actually it varies
Looks like this:

for(int i=0;i<2;i++)
{
    TimePeriod ib = (TimePeriod)LoadControl("TimePeriod.ascx");
    //ib.RightArrowImgUrl = "~/images/wcm-circle-arrow-button.png";
    span_tempList.Controls.Add(ib);

}

When user is done making changes for time for all days. i.e. in all user control on page.

the page has a button which takes this changes to database.

but the problem arises here that How to access the values of these text boxes values from the page as it has now been rendered as html.

This is my User Control Code:—

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="TimePeriod.ascx.cs" Inherits="ClassManagment.TimePeriod" %>


<div>
    <asp:TextBox ID="time3" size="10" value="08:00" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><asp:TextBox ID="time4" size="10" value="09:00"  runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

</div>

Code Behind of usercontrol:——–

 public partial class TimePeriod : System.Web.UI.UserControl
 {
        protected global::System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox time3 = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox();
        protected global::System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox time4 = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox();


        public string TimeFrom
        {
            get { return time3.Text; }
            set { time3.Text = value; }
        }

        public string TimeTo
        {
            get { return time4.Text; }
            set { time4.Text = value; }
        }
 }

How i can access values of usercontrol ?

Answer 1

like so:

TimePeriod ib = (TimePeriod)LoadControl("TimePeriod.ascx");
string timeTo = ib.TimeTo;
string timeFrom = ib.TimeFrom;
