Referencing Page properties from child control

[Guest]

I'm declaring public properties in a Page's code behind file (not
declaratively). I would like to read and assign these from a child
control's cs file. The Page's inherits attribute is _Default. So, for
example, I would like to reach _Default.StudentID where StudentID is a
public property of _Default. Seems this should be doable but cannot figure
it out.

Thanks,

Peter

You need to cast the Page reference to the type of the code-behind
class ... So in the code-behind for the User Control do something like:

((_Default)this.Page).StudentID

Thanks, Matt. Perfect.

Matt, Looked great but here's a line in my user control:

int status = ((_Default)this.Page).Status;

Doesn't compile. Asks "Are you missing Using statement or Assembly...?"

Suggestions?

OK. Would be glad to use the real class name. How do I know what it is?
