Change Control Access Modifers in ASP.NET 2.0

[Guest]

How can i change the access modifier of a control from protected to public if
the designer code is not visible to the developer? I tryed declaring it on
the page but it throws a compile error saying that the control has already
been declared as protected.

Nuno,

How about accessing it via a Public Property?

Public Property MyControl As Button
Get
Return Button1
End Get
Set (ByVal value As Button)
Button1 = value
End Set
End Property

Unfortunately, that is how I've been doing it. I really liked how we had the
ability to modify the access modifiers of our web controls directly instead
of having to create a property just to make a control public. However, I do
like the automated connection between the aspx controls and codebehind
control.
