I have a user control registered like:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="bbk" TagName="navbar" src="_navbar.ascx" %>

and then used in my HTML as:

<bbk:navbar id=Navbar2 runat="server" ForeColor="Silver" Width="100%"
BackColor="LightSteelBlue"></bbk:navbar>

So far so good. Now I want to use a property of my navbar called "brand" in
my codebehind. I have this:

Protected WithEvents navbar2 As System.Web.UI.UserControl

in my codebehind page. How do I code using navbar2? I want to do something
like:

if navbar2.brand = "" then

but it says that "brand is not a member of System.Web.UI.UserControl. I know
I have to declare the control somehow to get access to it. Can someone show
me how?

If your User Control uses code behind and is compiled in a DLL then it has
its own type (the class of the code behind).

Protected WithEvents navbar2 As MyApp.MyCustomUserControl

if navbar2.brand = "" then

If not, you need to use reflection. See:

- add a code block to your user contorl
- add a public variable to the top of the code block (outside any
event-handler, class or method:
    Public brand as String

That should do it.

My control is not compiled. In order to do this (through VS.NET), do I have
to create a separate project with just this control and then reference the
project from my main project?

Only 5 weeks 'til June 17th.....

Hi Bob,
Sorry I'm a little late here, you may have already figured this out=85

I'm assuming you want to access this UserControl from codebehind of the pag=
e, not codebehind of another Usercontrol

The way I do this is to place a panel control on the page, and then load th=
e usercontrol dynamically from codebehind and add it to the panel control. =
I've listed code below, but feel free to look at other examples at:
Tutorials >> UserControls
http://www.123aspx.com/directory.asp?dir=3D10

Here is an example i use:
Option Strict On
Option Explicit On

Imports System
Imports System.Reflection
Imports System.Web.UI
Imports System.Web.UI.WebControls

Public Class cbDefault : Inherits Page
Public pnlHeading as Panel

Public Sub Page_Load(Src As Object, E As EventArgs)
REM -- Load the control
Dim myUC as UserControl =3D LoadControl("ucHeading.ascx")

REM -- Set the Usercontrol Type
Dim ucType as Type =3D myUC.GetType()

REM -- Get access to the property
Dim ucPageHeadingProperty as PropertyInfo =3D ucType.GetProperty("PageHeadi=
ng")

REM -- Set the property
ucPageHeadingProperty.SetValue(myUC,"Access a Usercontrol from Code Behind"=
,Nothing)

pnlHeading.Controls.Add ( myUC )
End Sub

End Class
.

Cheers!
dave

The only reason I wanted to put C# code with MY VB Code was because this
IBuySpy Module PageCounter is in C#, and I got the VB Version of the Portal
site. They are asking for a declaration in C# to be placed in my Global.asax
file, that is using VB as the language.

I bet its easier to just recode the C# declaration into VB Code than trying
to Figure out how to Link 2 CodeBehinds to 1 Global.asax using 2 seperate
languages.

void Application_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Application["HitCounter"] = (long) 0;

Application["HitCounterPortalID"] = "";

Application["HitCounterLoaded"] = "";

Application["HitCounterDirtyCache"] = "false";

}

void Session_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e)

{

string strSessionID = Session.SessionID;

if (Application[strSessionID] == null)

{

// log a new session has started

Application[strSessionID] = strSessionID;

long l = (long) Application["HitCounter"];

l += 1;

Application["HitCounter"] = l;

// mark cache as dirty

Application["HitCounterDirtyCache"] = "true";

}

}

Theres the Code they want inside my Global.asax

I understand the VB.NET, But C#.NET Is still relatively new, and these
commands are all new to me.

Bob

Can someone convert this to VB for me, so I can see how?
