Passing data to a usercontrol before rendering?

[Tarun Mistry]

Hi all, is it possible to update a usercontrol before it is rendered?

In my scenario I have a Page with a usercontrol on it. When a button is
clicked on the Page, I want to update the usercontrol, more specifically
making a placeholder become visible. However it wont work. Im confused. I
catch the button click even on the page and within this i run a method on my
usercontrol, however it doesnt seem to work. Few code lines given below.

Please help! Thank you!

In my PageI have something like this:

private void ButtonPatientSe arch_Click(obje ct sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
// construct dynamic search results
MyUserControl.S howResults(Arra yListofObjects) ;
}

and in the user conrtol I have the method to catch this request

public void ShowResults(Arr ayList ArrayListofObje cts)
{
MyPlaceHolder.V isible = true;
Repeater1.DataS ource = ArrayListofObje cts;
Repeater1.DataB ind();
}

Hi Tarun,

You should get the usercontrol reference first:

MyUserControl myUserControlOb j =
(MyUserControl) Page.FindContro l(MyUserControl _ID);
myUserControlOb j.ShowResults(A rrayListofObjec ts);

Hi, thanks for the reply. The UC is already loaded on screen, it is not
dynamic.

I have the following code in my Page class

protected MyUserControl MyUserControlOb ject;

It is referencing it correctly, however I just cant get the UC to update or
rerender.

FYI to clarify, im trying to get my UC to update when a button is clicked on
the Page, however by the time the button click event is fired, i think my UC
has been rendered :(

Please help.
Thanks

You have created the function but have you wired a handler for the event ?
