Access user control from other user control

Hello,

I have two UserControls on a aspx page. I need to read a property of the
first UserControl from within the second UserControl. The UserControls
only know about themselves, so I can't declare a variable of the other
usercontrol's type. So I can't do something like this in the second
UserControl:

FirstUserContro l first =
(FirstUserContr ol)this.Parent. FindControl("Fi rstUserControl" )

Additionally I don't like to use the FindControl method, because it
returns an Object.

What's the best way to get to a usercontrol's properties from within an
other user control?

Greetings,
Chris

In the first user control, you can declare a property of the type matching
the second user control and set this property from the page containing both
controls.

How would you go about doing this? Could you post an example?

I have one user control declared as "public partial class
controls_Second aryDisabilities : System.Web.UI.U serControl" on a page
with a second user control declared as "
public partial class controls_StateL ist : System.Web.UI.U serControl".

I need to get a value from the second user control (the StateList) into
a variable in the first (the SecondaryDisabi lities). The value is a
public string, so it is accessible. However, when I declare "protected
controls_StateL ist ddlPartState;", the controls_StateL ist is not being
found.

Thank you in advance.

Hello, We are in the process of examining our current main application. We have to do some major changes and, in the process, are questionning/validating the use of MS Access as front-end.

In the source file (code behind file) the Data Module is a class, and the dropped components are public properties. The...

If you develop for others, you probably have multiple versions of Access installed so you can edit and create MDEs for clients in different versions. This works fine under Windows XP, even with Access 2007 installed. It does *not* work under Windows Vista Ultimate. After running Access 2007, when you open an earlier version of Access, no code works, because the references are fouled up. And Access 97 does not work at all. Access should...
