Pertinent Info: ASP.NET/VB.NET

Question: I am new to .NET and am having a difficult time developing an application that makes effective use of my user control. I have a user control on which I would love to be able to define variables, create objects, et cetera, that I can use on my calling (aspx) pages. Also, I would like to be able to impact variables and server controls within my user conrols FROM my aspx pages. An example of this might be that I have a user control that defines a header that will be used accross an entire site. This header might have certain elements that change from page to page (like the title, certain labels, welcome messages, et cetera). Thus far, I have had no luck in doing this, which effectively means that my user controls are worthless, since they prevent me from programming them from calling pages. So my question is, how do I effect elements in my user control FROM my aspx pages. I am sure that there is an answer.

Thanks,

Define whatever properties you want in your Usercontrol in ascx.vb file.Register your UserControl on your .aspx page , declare the tag of your usercontrol in the .aspx page where you want to display the Usercontrol on page(with ID). In the codebehind ie .aspx.vb declare the same Usercontrol with its ID as the name of the control. Now use this ID to access the properties of the UserControl on
your .aspx page.
If you still face problems, please paste your code so that i can go through it

good luck

Thank you for setting an example!

You can create various properties for the user control like title, welcomemessage etc. in the code behind for the user control. and you can assign these values from the calling aspx pages or in case of dynamic assignment, from the codebehind of the aspx pages.
