Question

Probably a simple question, but I’ve been browsing now for 30 mins and STILL cant find a solution!

i have a panel and it has an attribute text=”something”. but the panel class does not seem to have a getAttribute method… Which personally, I think is STUPID!

Code follows:

foreach (Control c in clientGrid.Controls)
{
    if (c.GetType().ToString().Equals("System.Web.UI.WebControls.Panel"))
    {
        /*Something*/ textInsidePanel = ((Panel)c)./*Somthing*/              
    }
}

Now i’ve tried AttributeCollection text = ((Panel)c).Attributes;

and

string text = ((Panel)c).Attributes.toString();

and other useless things…

This should be really simple! when i inspect element on chrome, I can see the panel, (well the div) and i can see the text attribute right there. and i can see its value! but i want my c# code to have the value to!!

Please Help!

Answer 1

if I get you question right – you can use next code

asp part

<asp:Panel runat="server" ID="pnl" Text="hello world"></asp:Panel>

c# part –

string s = pnl.Attributes["Text"];
