Usercontrols passing data back to the Page object

[Tarun Mistry]

Hi, i have a page with a user control on it, the uc is a form with a submit
button.

On submitting, how do I make the call get picked up by the webform the user
control is in?

Alteratively, is it possible to post to a different .aspx page?

Thanks,
Taz

Hi,

When u add ur user control in the webform, it is added inside the

<form runat="server"></form>

and all the controls including the ones which are part of a user control
will make the ASPX page post back/submit. Of course your button should have
runat="server", and to pick the up the call, when a button inside a
UserControl is clicked, the Page_Load of the WebForm (aspx) is called first
and after theat the Page_Load of the user control. So, you can pick up the
submit inside the Page_Load of your aspx page.

Regards,
Aleem

Thanks Abdul, however todo this will I have to declare the variables/server
controls again?

for example I would want:

private void Submit1_ServerClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
}

to appear in my WebForm, however Submit1 is defined in the Usercontrol.

What is the correct procedure on this.

Further more i need to access all the text fields on the Usercontrol, I dont
want to have to redeclare everything.

Thanks,
Kind regards
Taz

There are a variety of ways to pass data between a control and its page.
Generally a page calls methods & sets properties on the control. For the
control to initiate such an exchange it would usually raise an event to the
page.

Hi Steve, many thanks.

Unforunately I am not a VB developer, would it be possible to have the short
code snippets in c#?

It would be incredibly appreciated!

Kind regards
