Get SelectedValue of DropDownList in User Control in WebForm

gu4y

Hello All,

How can I get the SelectedValue of a User Control's DropDownList in the
code-behind of the WebForm hosting the User Control?

(Without having to use Request.Form["UserControlName:DropDownListName"])

Thanks

Expose a public function on your user control that will return this value.
