Refer to a custom property of a dynamically loaded user control

[Bryan Holland]

I have an app where I dynamically load a user control based on the type of
data it is rendering. There are some standard custom properties that I want
to access.

How do I refer to a custom property of a dynamically loaded user control?

Thanks

I'm not sure if this will help you (depends on where in the control life
cycle you need to access properties at), but what I've done to set user
control properies is something like this...

[in VB.NET, where I'm loading a user control in response to a button click,
then adding it to a PlaceHolder]

Private Sub myButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles myButton.Click
Dim ctrl As myUserCtrl

ctrl = CType(Page.LoadControl("myUserCtrl.ascx"), myUserCtrl)
ctrl.myProperty = "value"

myPlaceHolder.Controls.Add(ctrl)
End Sub
