Accessing user controls from pages within Master pages
Hi,
I have a problem with a web-site I have built which users Master Pages. One of the pages has a userControl within it, and in the codebehind on the page being loaded into the master page, I access methods and properties on this control. All builds fine.
When I run it, the control does not load, and looking at the source code, the reason is that the control is prefixed with the name of the container of the master page, "ctl00_contentPage" which stops this control loading properly. As soon as I amend the HTML generated and delete this prefix from the control name it works fine!
Any ideas?
Thanks
Paul

Ok, I can see how using Control.ClientID would get me the server control identifier, but how should this be used in the code behind for my page being loaded into the master page? To give you more of an idea, I am using a map userControl in my page, and have code like:-
HotelMap.ClearPins();
HotelMap.Zoom = 10;
HotelMap.RegisterMap();within the page to access properties and methods of that user control. This control ID gets modified at run-time, so how would I use the ClientID property in this context?
Thanks for replying...

Can i look at your complete code, where you are accessing it so that I can guide you. Please include details. ClientId will provide the actual id on the client.

No Problem.
The masterpage contains the following element into which the other pages are loaded:-
<div id="contentmiddle"> <asp:contentplaceholder id="contentPage" runat="server"> </asp:contentplaceholder> </div>The page location.aspx being loaded into the masterpage contains the following page directives:-
<%
@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/EjMasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="location.aspx.cs" Inherits="location" Title="Location page" %>
<%@ MasterType TypeName="EjMasterPage" %>
<%@ Register Src="LiveMap.ascx" TagName="LiveMap" TagPrefix="uc1" %>The control is loaded into the page in the following code within the <BODY> of the page
<div>
<uc1:LiveMap ID="HotelMap" runat="server" />
</div>In the codebehind for location.aspx, the following code accesses properties and methods of this control:-
HotelMap.ClearPins();
foreach (Photo photo in Photos.PhotoCollection)
HotelMap.Zoom = 10;
{
if (photo.Latitude != 0)
{
HotelMap.AddPin("<img src=" + photo.SmallUrl + " />", photo.Title, Convert.ToDouble(photo.Latitude), Convert.ToDouble(photo.Longitude), "images/camera.jpg");
}
}HotelMap.RegisterMap();
The HotelMap control creates javascript which is injected into the head of the page in the RegisterMap() method.
The resultant page fails to load this control because the reference to the control above gets changed to:-
<div class="map contain"> <div class="mapBorder"> <div id="ctl00_contentPage_HotelMap_Map" style="height:300px;width:300px;position:absolute;"> </div> </div>
</div>Let me know if you need more info and apologies for the length of the post!

Hold on.....
The problem is with the control that is generating the javascript loaded into the head tag - changing this to this.ClientID should do the trick.....
Think you've nailed it, will test and mark as answered soon after!
Thanks....
