User control Problem

[GMK]

Dear all
i'm facing a problem with the user controls
i would like to ask if anybody could help me in knowing how to handle the
values of a user control from outside the control.
e.g.
i have a drop down list, this drop down list is a user control and it is
filled according to a qurey built in the user control.
i want to use this drop down list on different page of my application with
the same values and data, but on each time i have several buttons that would
use the values selected in the drop down list in a different way.
i want to know how could i get the value of this control and if i can't can
i create a class with an interface (HTML) that could do for me this job?

Thank you all for your help.

One instance is available in only one page. This holds true for ASP.Net
1.1

If you are ready to jump to ASP.Net 2.0, you can use submissions
across-pages. See PreviousPage property of Page class in ASP.Net 2.0

Or you can serialize the values to a database and keep a reference-ID
(primary key / identity) as URL-query-string parameter for the
subsequent page.

Prefer migrating to ASP.Net 2.0

You can expose the dropdownlist within your user control as a public
control, or you could expose it through a public method or property. This
would allow any page to interact with the dropdownlist in your user control.

Here's more information along with some code samples:
