How to refer to textbox in class?

[John Mason]

Hi,

I am trying to work out how to make reference to an asp textbox control
within a class, contained in a user control, but receive the following
error...

BC30469: Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference.

Here is the code...

<%@ Control Language="VB" runat="server" %>
<script language="VB" runat="server">
Public Class clsEnterReport
Inherits System.Web.UI.U serControl

Public Event CancelClick()

Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s)
VisibleForm(fal se)
End Sub

Sub ReportForm()
VisibleForm(tru e)
End Sub

Sub CancelReport(se nder As Object, e As System.EventArg s)
VisibleForm(fal se)
RaiseEvent CancelClick()
End Sub

Sub VisibleForm(bln Form as Boolean)
lblAmount.visib le = blnForm
txtAmount.visib le = blnForm
btnReport.visib le = blnForm
btnCancel.visib le = blnForm
End Sub
End Class

</script>
<table>
<tr><td class="bodytext "><asp:labe l ID="lblAmount" runat="server"
Text="Amount:" /></td>
<td class="bodytext "><asp:text box runat="server" ID="txtAmount"
/></td></tr>
<tr><td class="bodytext "><asp:butt on ID="btnReport" runat="server"
Text="Submit Report" CssClass="btnCl ass" /></td><td
class="bodytext "><asp:butt on ID="btnCancel" runat="server" Text="Cancel"
CssClass="btnCl ass" OnClick="Cancel Report" /></td></tr>
</table>

..

Any assistance would be very much appreciated!!!!

Thanks

john.

You can declare your textbox as Shared or Public (by default, Visual Studio
declares it as Protected.

Alternatively you can create a public property within the control that
returns a reference to the textbox. You can then use this property to
reference the textbox.

John,

You can use Page.FindContro l() to get a reference to a control which
effectively bypasses the visibility of the control in relation to the form.
