I have a question about a usercontrol (ascx) that I've got... I have a dropdownlist on my ascx page and I would like to know how to access that control from the calling aspx pages.. to set a selected value. Does anyone have any insight? I'm kinda stumped. Thanks!

What I have done is to create a public property on the user control class. The accessor for the property looks at the DDL:

Public ReadOnly Property SelectedValue() As String
    Get
        If Not ddlDropDown.SelectedItem Is Nothing Then
            Return ddlDropDown.SelectedItem.Value
        Else
            Return Nothing
        End If
    End Get
End Property

You have to make sure you test it within the accessor otherwise you could get an error if you request it and there is no selected item.
