Reading a UserControl's DropDownList value from the parent page

[pod]

Hello all
Thank you for reading this question, I hope that at least one of you can help me.

Here is my setup:
I have an asp.net page called personinfo.aspx
On that page I have a UserControl called UC_Code.ascx
On that UserControl I have a DropDownList called DDLcode.

Now from the code-behind of personinfo.aspx, I want to capture the DropDownList' selected value [DDLcode.SelectedValue].

If anyone one can show me how to address this, in VB or C#, it would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks a mega

P:oD

p.s.
my code is in VB, but I can convert C# code online

Implement a public property in your UC_Code user control that exposes the drop down list's selected value so that the personinfo page can access it. This property can be read only if your personinfo page doesn't need to set the selected value.
