How to pass values into a user control

[Tony]

I've created a user control in C# with a Title Property

I can set up the title in HTML by passing the title property as shown

<uc1:USRTitle id="myTitle" runat="server" Title="This is the
Title"></uc1:AdminTitle>

But what I really want to do is pass this value from the Page Load event ie:

myTitle.Title = "Hello Title"

but the Title property (although public) is not exposed on the control at
this point - How do I do this?
Thanks

It should be exposed.

Are you using codebehind? If so, is there an instance
of the user control as a member in the Page class?

Ah - I manually created an instance of the control and it all works - I
wonder why it wasnt there automatically!
Thanks

I often find that this does not happen - there's a KB article regarding the
problem - it just advises you to create the reference manually.

ASP.NET User Controls aren't added to the code behind class
automatically, like other Web controls. At least not in ASP.NET 1.x...
in 2.0 everything works like it should. :-/
