Hi Dmitriy,

I think you can use

        ContentPlaceHolder cp = Master.FindControl("ContentPlaceHolder1") as ContentPlaceHolder;
        WebUserControl wb = cp.FindControl("WebUserControl1") as WebUserControl;
        TextBox tb = wb.FindControl("TextBox1") as TextBox;
        tb.Text = "abc";

Hope it helps,

Jessica

Hello Jessica,

Thank you for very informative links.

But what is the best way in your opinion to emit control's ClientID into scripts with Master Pages?

Cheers,
Dmitriy.

Hello Dmitriy,

This error happens when asp.net encounters code blocks like <%= %>, or <%# %>, in a User Control and the code-behind the User Control is trying to modify the controls collection of the page (usually a LoadControl statement).

Refer to this thread

Code blocks usage

nagir — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 09:00:36 GMT

Hello,

I'm using template engine similar to master pages but for ASP.NET 1.1.

And I cannot use code blocks there because of when templating is performed an error occurs:
The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks (i.e. <% ... %>).

But I still find code blocks very useful and want to use it, for example to emit HTML elemnt IDs to scripts.

Is there any way to deal with that?

Ragards,
Dmitriy.
