Help: Simple user control Messages   Related Types This message was discovered on microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet. Post a new message to this list... VB Programmer I create a simple user control and exposed a property, "MyProperty". I dragged it onto a new webform. I want to access the exposed property ("MyProperty") of the user control. But, I cannot access the user control. The (ID) property of the user control is set to "ucFilter", but trying to access "ucFilter.MyProperty" doesn't work. (It says that 'ucFilter' is not declared.) Any ideas? Thanks. Reply to this message...        Hermit Dave in code behind declare a corresponding instance so if your control looks something like this in design view <UCFilter:UCFilter1 runat=server></UCFilter> then go into your code behind and add protected UCFilter UCFilter1; after you have added this you should be able to access the property using UCFilter1.MyProperty -- Regards, Hermit Dave (http://hdave.blogspot.com) "VB Programmer" <Dont*NoSpam-Please*@jEmail.com> wrote in message news:Click here to reveal e-mail address...

Here's what I did: In my design view it looks like this: <%@ Register TagPrefix="uc1" TagName="ucFilter" Src="ucFilter.ascx" %> : <uc1:ucfilter id="UcFilter1" runat="server"></uc1:ucfilter> In my code behind: Protected MyFilter As ucFilter : Response.Write(MyFilter.RegionalMgr) ' ERROR OCCURS!

Robertson, Jr. As Hermit was saying, your ID property "UcFilter1" should be the same as the object name. Instead of: Protected MyFilter As ucFilter Try Protected UcFilter1 As ucFilter Then use the name UcFilter throughout your codebehind.
