Can a user control get data from another page?

[Sunil Menon]

Dear All,
I have developed a User Control that displays data fetched from the
database. I would like to develop the UserControl to dynamically call
an aspx page with parameters and set the content of that page as an
innerHTML of its control. Is this possible?
For e.g. On Page_load of WebForm1.aspx that has the UserControl I
would like to...
Page_Load(...)
Dim sData as string = oUserControl1.getData("WebForm2.aspx)
oUserControl1.innerHTML = sData
end function

If this is not possible is there any other workaround?

Please help...

TALIA
Many Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,

You can do that after getting the web response from the function GetContent(string url) used here. Here url is the fully qualified path. (e.g., http://localhost/TestProject/MainPage.aspx?Field1=value1&Field2=value2)

So you can use the function as follows:

oUserControl1.innerHTML = GetContent("http://localhost/TestProject/WebForm2.aspx")

You have to pass the parameters using Query String.

Cheers!!!
