Web User Controls - Direct Access

Question

Hello I am trying to find a way to get access to controls inside a web user control directly from within the page holding the web user control. For example say I have a Web User Control (MyControl) which contains a label (MyLabel). I then have a page (MyPage) which contains the Web User Control (MyControl) and also contains a text box (MyTextBox). What I want to do is have direct access to MyLabel as if it existed on MyPage instead of MyControl so I could simply write something like MyTextBox.Text = MyLabel.Text. I hope my question makes sense. Thank you for any hints or resources to help with this. By the way this needs to work in .Net 1.1. Thanks!

If you want to access controls placed in User Control you need to create instance of that Control 1) YourControl UControl = new YourControl(); // YourControl is the TagName of Control MyTextBox.Text = UControl.StrLabel; 2) YourControl.ascx This is all I've added to this code-behind public string StrLabel { get { EnsureChildControls(); return this.Label1.Text; } } Refer this link : http://forums.asp.net/thread/1239914.aspx Help Me If i was wrong.... I think this will work not tested
