Get Container Parent at Design Time

[Valeria]

I have many panels into a container(it´s also a panel).
I want to get the container´s id from the child panels at design time.

When I create these child panels from code I can get the containerID
easily:
Panel panel = new Panel();
Controls.Add(panel);

then:
Panel container = panel.Parent;

But at design time....
How can I get the Parent when I make the drag and drop of the panels
into the container from the designer class?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Valeria,

What you're looking for is Control's Site property. From there you can get
to the container and its components, i.e.:

base.Site.Container.Components

If you're going to mess with design-time I highly recommend you to write a
control designer (take a look at the ControlDesigner class).

Hello Victor, how are you doing?
It worked perfectly well. (I'm alredy using the ControlDesigner class)
Thank you very much for your answer...
Saludos!, Valeria.

Hi Valeria,

Glad I could help in solving that!

I don't recall where I know you from, sorry about that, maybe one of my
talks? a listserv?
