  How to: Web Control (or Custom Control) with property of type DropDownList

  Mar 04, 2011 05:25 PM|LINK

  HI.. I want to pass to my control a value to one of its parameter of type DropDownList. Something like:

  <uc1:MyControl Id="01" runat="server" OtherControl="ddl1" />

  Where "ddl1" is a DropDownList defined in the same page my control resides. How to create this kind of property?

  This is just a thought.

  Create a string property and method to get the Control

  public string CustomList
  {
      get
      {
          return Convert.ToString(ViewState["CustomList"]);
      }
      set
      {
          ViewState["CustomList"] = value;
      }
  }
  public DropDownList GetCustomList()
  {
      return Page.FindControl(CustomList) as DropDownList;
  }
