How to Access value of TextBox inside ascx control from codebehind

[rodrigo]

This is what I am doing

public class GridCustomPagin g : System.Web.UI.P age

{

protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Data Grid DgSearch;

protected System.Web.UI.H tmlControls.Htm lForm frmsearch;

protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Labe l CurrentPage;

protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Labe l TotalPages;

protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Link Button FirstPage;

protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Link Button PreviousPage;

protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Link Button NextPage;

protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Link Button LastPage;

protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Text Box Categories1_Tex tsearch;

protected Int32 _currentPageNum ber = 1;

private void Page_load(objec t sender, System.EventArg s e)

{

if ( !Page.IsPostBac k )

{

BindData();

}

}



private void BindData()

{

Response.Write( Categories1_Tex tsearch.Text);

}
At this point I get this error: Object reference not set to an
instance of an object.
I tryed these two options:
Categories1_Tex tsearch =
(TextBox)this.P age.Parent.Find Control("Catego ries1_Textsearc h");
and
Categories1_Tex tsearch =
(TextBox)this.P age.FindControl ("Categories1_T extsearch");

Still get the same error

Do I have to reference the ascx control page inside codebehind? How to
do it?

categories.ascx is the control page.

Categories1_Tex tsearch is the name of the textbox inside
categories.ascx . Actually the original name is only Textsearch, but
Frameworks, renames it behind the scenes. Categories1_Tex tsearch is
what I see in the source of the html.

I tried to expose the public properties with no success. But that does
not work since both the aspx and ascx are using codebehind.

Thanks

The usercontrol variable has a FindControl method, use that. As you see, the page level FindControl method won't dig into the usercontrol.
