How to communicate between users controls in web form?

[Simon]

How to pass messages through events from a user control to its containing
page, or to another user control? Is there any recommended way? Thanks very
much.

Hi,

As for asp.net

Declare a event in the user control and then fire the event on your
purpose...
subscribe the event of the user control..... in page... you can also
declare
your custom delegate for this purpose...

Okay now... the above solution will serve your purpose yet you can do
lot of engineering in this issue...
you can also implement observer pattern...

its your choice

Best of luck

from user control, u can access the page by just calling "Page"
property
to access other controls, try Page.FindControls("")

If Page doesn't work, try Parent

Hi Simon,

From your description, what you want to do is let the usercontrol and its
container page or other user control on the same page communicate or share
some data with each other , correct?

As for the communication, would you provide some further details about what
process will a typical communication between them followup? Generally,
since the UserControl has the "Page" property, I think you can try define
some custom properties on the Page class and then let the usercontrol get
reference to its container page, and set those custom properties to forward
certain data(from user control to page).

If you want to share data between different usercontrol instance, I think
it is necessary to perform FindControl from page. For example, one
usercontrol first get reference to its container page, and then search for
another usercontrol on the page(and access properties on that usercontrol).
However, FindControl require you to know the control hierarchy/structure
on the page.

Anyway, please feel free to let me know if you have further particular
requirements or concerns here.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

Thanks very much. I think I could begin from findcontrol method and then
exchange some data among user controls.

Thanks for your quick reply Simon,

Also, for "FindControl" method, I'd like to inform you to take care of the
control/structure. For example, the FindControl method can only search
controls in the same NamingContainer context. In other words, if two user
controls are put inside the same naming container, you can use the
following code to find control :

UserControl1.NamingContainer.FindControl("Usercont rol2")

here is a web article mentioned functionality of FindControl method:

If you encounter any further problem, welcome to post here.
