In DS.ascx, I have 40 input controls like textboxes, dropdownlist, checkbox, etc. and save buttons etc....

I used this DS.ascx in another control (by dragging and dropping into) "UseDSControl.ascx" by using the following code:

UseDSControl.ascx.vb: g_ctlDS = LoadControl("ctlDS.ascx")

and then when I try to set the control default value (or) accessing values for textbox, it says txtname/chkallow not available. Because it's protected in ctlDS.ascx, I changed it to "public withevents txtname as textbox" but it automatically changes back.

see the following: how to do this in ctlUseDSControl.ascx.vb without writing public properities for each control to set/get values in ctlDS.ascx:

ctlUseDSControl.ascx.vb:

if g_ctlDS.chkAllow then
    'call function 1
else
    'call function 2
end if

g_ctllDS.txtName="ABC"

Please let me know ASAP.

Also, ASAP may not be the best way to trigger people to give you a quick answer.
