Question

I want create for paging a usercontrol.

How can I access properties in usercontrol.ascx from usercontrol.ascx.cs?

Property in usercontrol.ascx.cs:

 /// <summary>
        /// gets actual page index
        /// </summary>
        public int PageIndex
        {
            get
            {
                return _pageIndex;
            }
            set
            {
                _pageIndex = value;
            }
        }

usercontrol.ascx:

 <%= Html.RouteLink("<", new { page = (Model.PageIndex - 1) }, new { title = "previous page"})%>

How to access property? i have a model.PageIndex, but it doesnt works at all.

Thanks and tae care,

In ASP.NET MVC it is not common to have user controls and access their properties. You use the Model for this. There shouldn’t even be a usercontrol.ascx.cs. So make this PageIndex a propery of your model.
