Passing Parameters to User Controls that are Dynamically Loaded in Placeholders

[Josh]

Hi Guys,

I have been having a big problem with trying to pass parameters into a
user control when the user control is dynamically loaded into a
placholder. I am developing in c#. I have get and set methods on the
user control "editButton.ascx" which work fine.

How do i pass parameter into the user controls "c1", "c2" ?

Here is a bit of my code that is calling the user control from the
aspx page.
public void setupTemplate(string PID)
{
//load control into a placeholder
UserControl c1 = (UserControl) LoadControl
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["virtualPath"]
+ "editButton.ascx");
UserControl c2 = (UserControl)
LoadControl(System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["virtualPath"]
+ "editButton.ascx");

//PLACEHOLDER 1
PlaceHolder phPlaceHolder =
(PlaceHolder)this.FindControl("Form1").FindControl("PlaceHolder1");
phPlaceHolder.Controls.Clear();
phPlaceHolder.Controls.Add(c1);
//PLACEHOLDER 2
PlaceHolder phPlaceHolder2 =
(PlaceHolder)this.FindControl("Form1").FindControl("PlaceHolder2");
phPlaceHolder2.Controls.Clear();
phPlaceHolder2.Controls.Add(c2);
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Josh

Hi,

Just cast it to the appropriate type, ie. instead of (UserControl) put
(editButton) or whatever you called the extended class in
editButton.ascx.
