I am trying to make variables available in my web application by making
user controls
I classic asp I was able to put them all in an #include which made them
available throughout the asp script
So here's my example, 2 .ascx files, and I want to use a variable, like a
public variable, in the 2nd one (in the page load event)
Even though I make a public property in the first topdcl_try.ascx file, it
doesn't recognize it in the page load event.
Here is the page:
<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Default.aspx.vb"
Inherits="_Default" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="Utils" TagName="topdcl" Src="utils/topdcl_try.ascx"
%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
</div>
</form>
<Utils:topdcl id="My_topdcl" runat="server"/>
</body>
</html>
---------------------------------------------
Here is the topdcl_try.ascx file:
------------------------------------------
<%@ Control ClassName="topdcl" %>
<script language="vb" runat="server">
Private m_addressesstring as String= "adr,phone,zip,"
Public Property addressesstring as String
Get
Return m_addressesstring
End Get
Set
m_addressesstring = Value
End Set
End Property
Public Sub topdcl1()
addressesstring= "adr,phone,zip,"
End Sub
</script>
..--------------------------------------
Here is the page load event:
---------------------------------------
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Handles Me.Load
My_topdcl.topdcl1()
Response.Write(addressesstring)
'My_w.w1()
End Sub
I get an error saying the addressstring variable is not declared. I was
hoping making a public property would make it available within the page, but
it doesn't.I guess I don't understand how these properties work.
As I said, in classic .asp I could put all the 'dim' statements at the top
in an include, and the whole asp page could access them.
Thanks for any help!
