Update server side asp variable in page behind code

[Robert]

I have a User Control. Is it possible to define a variable in the User Control HTML like this

<
Dim strTem
%

and then use the page behind code in the Page_Load event to update this strTemp variable? VBScript please.

Hi Robert,

I think you need to get more OOP under your belt. You're thinking
procedurally. A User Control is a class. When you use the Dim statement in a
class, you are essentially creating a Private field, which is not accessible
to anything other than the class itself. You need to expose data in your
User Control either through a Public Field (Public strTemp As String) or a
Public Property (Public Property strTemp As String). You can then access the
value through any other class, including the Page class.

And do yourself a favor, and turn Option Strict ON!
