user control issue

I have the following user control in my project simply
for setting focus to a control:
Public Class SetFocus

Inherits System.Web.UI.U serControl

Public Sub Focus(ByVal strClientID As String)

Dim script As String = ""

script = "<SCRIPT languange='Java Script'>" & _

"document.getEl ementById('" & _

strClientID & "').focus() ;" & _

"</SCRIPT>"

Page.RegisterSt artupScript("fo cus", script)

End Sub


I have the following code in my HTML section of the aspx
page that tries to access this user control:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="YTCI WebUserControls "
TagName="SetFoc us" Src="../UserControls/SetFocus.ascx" %>

..

..

..

<YTCIWebUserCon trols:SetFocus id="SetFocus1"
runat="server"> </YTCIWebUserCont rols:SetFocus>


I have the following code in my code-behind section of
the aspx page that tries to access this user control:
Protected ucFocus As New YTCIWebUserCont rols.SetFocus

..

..

..

If Not Page.IsPostBack Then

ucFocus.Focus(m tbFromDate.Clie ntID)

End If


When I try and run the page, I get the following error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the
execution of the current web request. Please review the
stack trace for more information about the error and
where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.NullRefe renceException: Object
reference not set to an instance of an object.

Source Error:
Line 33: If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
Line 34: ucFocus.Focus(m tbFromDate.Clie ntID)

Source File:
C:\Inetpub\wwwr oot\EmsAssist\R eports\MemberCa ll.aspx.vb
Line: 34

Stack Trace:

System.Web.UI.C ontrol.OnLoad(E ventArgs e) +67
System.Web.UI.C ontrol.LoadRecu rsive() +35
System.Web.UI.P age.ProcessRequ estMain() +731
However, when I don't use the user control, and implement
the code from the user control in place of using the user
control everything works fine as indicated below:
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then

Dim intRandomNbr As Integer

Dim script As String = ""

script = "<SCRIPT languange='Java Script'>" & _

"document.getEl ementById('" & _

mtbFromDate.Cli entID & "').focus() ;"
& _

"</SCRIPT>"

intRandomNbr = GenerateRandomN br()

Page.RegisterSt artupScript("fo cus" &
intRandomNbr, script)

End If


What am I doing wrong that the user control can't be
used???

I believe you have to set the instance of ucFocus to
..FindControl(" <your control name>"), then I believe it will work as
planned.

Ed I don't know why this works but it does - I was having the same
problem and page.findcontro l("myusercontro lname") added to the
beginning of the subroutine where I was calling the property of the
user control from made my whole control spring to life :)

Background: When I create a ASP.NET control (User or custom), it often requires security to be set for certain functionality with the control. For example, a news release user control that is comprised of a DataGrid may have separate permissions for adding, deleting and updating a news item. Problem Up until now, I have been implementing security directly inside the control. I will test directly against the security model to see if...

Hi all, If I developed a phone user control which has requiredfieldvalidator, regularexpressionvalidator etc. The quesiton is if on a web form which have three phone fields and only any one of them is required, it seems in this case user control is not good choice. The only thing I can think of is eliminate the requiredfieldvalidator in user control, deal with required field in aspx page for the above case, am I right? Any other ways?

I have an issue where I have a user control that is launched into a floating form. At some point later, I allow the user to "unfloat" the user control by reparenting it on a split container in another form. Problem is if I wake a tooltip when the window is floated, and then try the same thing when it is reparented, the app crashes with " Cannot access a disposed object.Object name: 'Form'. Presumably, this is a result of the tooltips...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
