VB Newbie, Retrieve Listbox value from Control

[David J Duryea]

Please if anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated


I have a VB form on a page called create.aspx with some text fields and
listboxes.
I also have a control on the form

<%@ Register TagPrefix="UserControl" TagName="Categories"
Src="/Categories.ascx" %>

The Control Categories.ascx contains 2 listboxes CatID and SubCatID

The create.aspx page posts its values to a stored Proc. However I cannon
obtain the vaules from the listboxes on Categories.ascx.

I have tried
Request.Form("CatID")
CatID.SelectedItems.Value

If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Dave

Hi,

Use FindControl to find the user control and then the list box :
FindControl("WebUserControl11").FindControl("DropDownList1")
