    text
    copied!<p>I feel like I recall from days gone by an article explaining how to DECLARATIVELY set the value of the property of an object, exposed as the property of an ASP.NET User Control. </p> <p>My situation is that I have a user control which contains a LinkButton, amongst other things, of course. I would like the consumer of the User Control to be able to set the TEXT value of the link button in the declarative syntax used to implement the User Control. </p> <p>Here is the User Control (designer)... </p> <pre><code>&lt;div id="toolbar"&gt; &lt;ASP:LinkButton runat="server" id="btnFirst" /&gt; &lt;ASP:LinkButton runat="server" id="btnSecond" /&gt; &lt;ASP:LinkButton runat="server" id="btnThird" /&gt; &lt;ASP:LinkButton runat="server" id="btnFourth" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here is the property as defined in the code behind of the User Control ...</p> <pre><code>public partial class Lookuptoolbar: UserControl { public LinkButton FourthButton { get { return (this.btnFourth); } } } </code></pre> <p>When I include the control in a page I EXPECTED to be able to set the TEXT of my FOURTH button using the following DECLARATIVE syntax ...</p> <pre><code> &lt;UC:MyControl id="uc1" runat="server" FourthButton_Text="Click Me!"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>I had read once somewhere, a long time ago, that you could access the properties of an object (exposed as the property of a user/server control) by using the underscore syntax. This is not working for me at all. Is this no longer allowed or am I missing something? IS there ANY way of doing this?</p> <p>Thank You, Gary</p>
