Re: Passing parameters to user controls
Open the CodeBehind file and add the user control to the controls
collection. Not sure why, but, by default, a user control is placed on the
page but never given a corresponding line in the CodeBehind file.

Dim NameOfControlOnPage As MyControl
protected MyControl NameOfControlOnPage;

You can see the lines of other controls in your CodeBehind, so the above
templates are suspect. Once you do this, you will be able to use:

NameOfControlOnPage.PropertyOne = "";

to set values.

Re: Passing parameters to user controls
use properties...or public fields :)

user control:

private _ValueID as integer
Public Property ValueID as integer
Get
return _ValueID
ENd Get
Set (byval value as integer)
_ValueID = value
end set
end property

From within the user control you can simply refer to "ValueID" from
thereonin to get the value that was assigned to it by the parent.


Parent:
Two methods
<control:name runat="server" id="cntrl" ValueID=3 />

in codebehind
cntrl.ValueID = 3
