All,

I have created a templated control as shown here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/htm
l/cpconcustomizingcontrolswithtemplates.asp

I can use the control in my aspx page as follows:

<Controls:Control1 runat="server" id="test1">
    <FirstTemplate>
        <asp:Label Runat="server" ID="lblTest1">Test</asp:Label>
    </FirstTemplate>
</Controls:Control1>

This works just fine, but when I try to access it in the code-behind as
follows:

    protected Label lblTest1;
    ...

    lblTest1.Text = "test test tes 2";

I get an error because the control = null. Has anyone else had this
problem? know of a solution???

Bryan,

to my knowledge, in order to access controls in a template, you need to use
the FindControl method of the host control.
