Hi Scott,



I want to be able to access a variable set in a usercontrol from within

another usercontrol. I'm pretty new to OOP and VB.NET in particular, so I

can't figure this out.



I have a Public variable in a usercontrol that gets loaded by a WebForm.

Another usercontrol registered on that same form then gets loaded, and I

want to set the text property of a label in the second usercontrol based on

the variable set in the first user control.



If my first usercontrol is registered with an ID of "Header", and the

variable I set within it is strLabelText, I thought I could just access it

with this syntax: Me.Page.FindControl("Header1").strLabelText, or something

like that. I know I have to go up the tree to the Page object and then back

down, but nothing seems to work.



Thank you!! May I add that I am overwhelmed by the support Microsoft has

given to launching .NET and helping developers come up to speed. Truly

amazing.
