I have an aspx page in which I have Ajax UpdatePanel which has a AJAX Tabcontainer which has 5 tab. In First tab I have a DropDownList for ProductID. In the second tab I have used a UserControl whose parameter needs to be reflected based on productID. I want to Access the DropDownList ProductID in the user control which I am not getting. Part of my code is <pre><code>DropDownList IDList = (DropDownList)(this.Parent.FindControl("ProductID"); </code></pre> this is not working and I am getting NULL. I also have Tried <pre><code>DropDownList IDList = (DropDownList)(this.Page.FindControl("ProductID"); </code></pre> Please tell me how I can do this. As asked Part of necessary code is <pre><code><asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanelTankFormula" runat="server"> <ContentTemplate> <asp:tabcontainer id="TabContainerTankFormula" AutoPostBack="true" runat="server" OnClientActiveTabChanged="clientActiveTabChanged" activetabindex="0" style="width:100%;"> <asp:TabPanel ID="InputDataTab" runat="server" HeaderText="Data Input"> <ContentTemplate> <asp:DropDownList id="TankNameCombo" DataTextField="TankName" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" DataValueField="customertankid" width="200px" onclick="javascript:SetHiddenField();"> </asp:DropDownList> </ContentTemplate> </asp:TabPanel> <asp:TabPanel ID="LacticAcidAdditionTab" runat="server" HeaderText="Lactic Acid Addition"> <ContentTemplate> //My user control <UC:TankNote runat="server" ID="LaticTankNotesUC" GetNoteType="LAC" MEQMode="False"></UC:TankNote> </ContentTemplate> </asp:TabPanel> </asp:tabcontainer> <ContentTemplate> </asp:UpdatePanel> </code></pre> Now in the Code Behind of this User Control I want to access this DropDownList, which I am not getting. For the fix I have define a Public function that return the value of this list. But its a fix not solution.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
