Component in WebForm

[Shawn B.]

Greetings,

Is it possible to get a reference to the Page object of an ASP.NET page from
within a Component that has been placed on the page?

I want the component to be available on the page and when the page renders I
want it to be able to inject something into the Page Response stream but the
Component object itself is very non-visual and for that reason I thought it
would be better not to have it as a control.


Thanks,
Shawn

Actually, I need access to the RegisterClientScript function...


Thanks,

If it's going to emit something, even if it's "non-visual", then you should
probably make it a control.

Use HttpContext.Current .
HTH.

That didn't work because, while I could get access to the Request/Response
objects, I need the page itself.

So, I casted the HttpContext.Current.Handler to a page object and that
worked.

The only last thing I need to figure out is how to get the name of the
instance of the Component. There is a Name property in the property editor
for the component but there is no Name for the object (or ID) so unless I
can figure out how to uniquely identify a particular instance of the
component then I still am not there.

Is there a way I can get a handle to an instnace of the component attached
to the Form?


Thanks,
Shawn
