setting a usercontrol property as another control

if i wanted to expose a property on a usercontrol that basically would
work like the way the validators work with the ControlToValida te
property, whats a reliable way of finding the correct control off of a
text property?

I was figuring i could expose a string, allow the consumer to set it,
and then use some technique in the usercontrol to get the reference to
the instance of the control, but i'm not having much luck with actually
finding the control from the parent page by a string that matches the
control ID of the target control.

it would be great if someone could help.. if i have to end up writing a
recursive FindControl method i will, but that makes me feel a little
sick inside.

Hello, I'm writing a usercontrol that contains a property named "disabled". It is set to false by default but there is also another button in the usercontrol that'll set it to true. On the main form a number of them are displayed. During the On_Load event, 1) It'll check to see if the usercontrol is disabled. If true, the row containing the usercontrol is hidden.

I am building a simple user control - a listview, a couple buttons. I build the solution, drop the control on a form, and all is well. I then go back, modify the Usercontrol, rebuild, and still all is well. However, at some point I get the "Object Refererence not set to an instance..." error when I rebuild. If I try to drop the control on another form I get the same error. I do not believe it is the code in the usercontrol, as it...

I have created a UserControl that encapsulates a third party data grid. My goal was to create my own DataSource and DataMember properties that forward the binding to the third party grid, then use binding like normal. The problem I am running into is that my UserControl ends up with a different BindingContext then the ParentForm it is contained in and thus all other controls on the parent form. (I want various controls on the form to...

Hi there, I have a UserControl with a couple of textboxes and a couple of buttons ("Save" and "Cancel"). The Click event for this buttons is in the UserControl's codebehind of course, so here's my question. Once the UserControl is dropped onto the container page, how can I perform some action on the codebehind of the container page from the codebehind of the UserControl? For instance, suppose that the UserControl is dropped inside one...

I set the property me.ShowLinks = true on the load event of P. P contains another usercontrol (C) which has a button on it. When I first call P, everything renders fine. First it goes on...

Hello I have a UserControl sized to 100; 200 When I drop it in my form the initial size is 100;200 (as I prefer). Then I decided to change the size of my UserControl to 200;200 but although I have not set any value to the size of the dropped control in my form, recompiling the project does not affect the new size of the user control in my form. Surprisingly if I reset the Size property of my user control in the form, the size changes...
