Hi...

Write function in your user control with public access specifier. Then
from page call the function from the instance of the user control...

Suppose you have a user control Search.ascx and in the user control you
have a function

public void DoSomeWork()
{
///Perform some operation
///This is a usercontrol function
}

And in the aspx page you can access...

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Search1.DoSomeWork();
}

just like that...

Thanks

forgot this:
my usercontrol is loaded into a placeholder, so how do you call it then from
this aspx page:

Dim uc as Control
uc = me.loadcontrol("myusercontrol.ascx")
me.MyPlaceholder.add(uc)

Say myusercontrol.ascx had a sub dosomething(), how do you call this
dosomething sub from the page?

thanks

You need to strongly type the user control when you load it. I'm going to do
it in C# as I haven't used VB in a few years.

MySite.MyControl uc =
(MySite.MyControl)me.loadcontrol("myusercontrol.ascx");
uc.MyFunction();

You could also use reflection to do it, but reflection can be a lot slower.
