How to access a control which is in .aspx page from a user control?

[walle]

Hi,

How can I access a control which is in .aspx page from a user control?

I have a gridpanel (gridp) in a .aspx page, and I want to access to that gridpanel from a user control (.ascx)

How to access the control name?

I tried the following way:

gridp.Reload();

but shows an error (the user control does not access to gridp).

Please, any idea?

Hi,

Using the .FindControl() Method should help. I think you can do something like the following.

Example

this.Page.FindControl("GridPanel1") as GridPanel

Well, the code above will get you an instance of the GridPanel, then you call Methods and set Properties as required.

Example

var grid = this.Page.FindControl("GridPanel1") as GridPanel;
grid.Reload();

Hope this helps.

Hi Geoggrey,

I got the solution:

GridPanel mygrid = (GridPanel)this.Page.FindControl("gridp");
mygrid.Reload();

This works fine but there is a little problem.
The grid updates data but not a column with photo.

How can i update the column photo of the grid?

Hi,

I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but there are some threads in the forums regarding rendering images in a GridPanel.

Hi Geoffrey,

I found a thread with my problem, as you said, but there is no solution:

Any idea?
