Hello

            I am developing my site like below; all the pages will have a master page and two webcontrols. The first one will get all the details of the user and the second one will log the user’s footprint.

What I would like to know is how can I make available variables from the UserProfile.aspx to the other two pages.

So in UserProfile.ascx I have a variable strCustomerFirstName = ‘Dave’ how can I access it without using session variables

MasterPage

UserProfile.ascx

Some.aspx

UserFootprint.ascx

hi

you can have a property and set that property in the parent page and make the user control to work accordingly

Hi,

You can try to expose the variable  in the user control, then it can be accessed.

Below is me sample code:

1. the user control, expose the variable in the codebheind:

private string _lbl;
    public string lbl
    {
        get
        {
            return _lbl;
        }
        set
        {
            _lbl = value;
        }
    }

2. Then expose this user control in the master page's codebehind:

 public ASP.testusercontrol_usercontrols_uc1l_ascx control
    {
        get
        {
            return this.UC1l1;
        }
    }

UC1l1 is the usercontrol's ID in the master page, ASP.testusercontrol_usercontrols_uc1l_ascx is the type of my usercontrol.

3. add the @materType directive for the content page:

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/TestUserControl/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="TestUserControl_Default" Title="Untitled Page" %>
<%@ MasterType VirtualPath="~/TestUserControl/MasterPage.master" %>

4. Access the usercontrol's variable  in the content page's codebehind:

  ASP.testusercontrol_usercontrols_uc1l_ascx usercontrol = this.Master.control;
  usercontrol.lbl = "this is the content page's message!";

Hope it helps.
