User Control I call is "topmenu.ascx" and the control I want to access is LinkButton called "lbLogOff".
This error "compile error' on second line. Error message is below.What am I doing wrong?
Dim urCtl As UserControl = LoadControl("topmenu.ascx")
CType(urCtl, LinkButton).lbLogOff.Visible = True
topmenu.Controls.Add(urCtl)Error 38 Value of type 'System.Web.UI.UserControl' cannot be converted to 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.LinkButton'.

You are trying to cast your user control object to type linkbutton, which isn't going to work. You need to cast it to the type of your user control. If you are using the method above, you would also need to make your linkbutton a public object, otherwise it wouldn't be accessible from outside the class. However, it would be better practice to include a property in your user control class and access it via that- see your other thread for an example.

hi,
here "urcontrol" refers ur user control not a link button,change ur code like the following,Dim urCtl As UserControl = LoadControl("topmenu.ascx")
CType(urCtl, topmenu).lbLogOff.Visible = True
'topmenu.Controls.Add(urCtl) ' u dont need to add ur user control's linkbutton into usercontrol again.
u can just add ur user control into ur aspx page by using the following ,
Me.Controls.Add(urCtl),
otherwise add panel to ur page and then add ur control into it by using ,
urPanelname.Control.Add(urCtl)

Jeevi and booler,
Thanks both of you for your input.
I don't know why this casting doesn't work for me. I got it worked around as booler mentioned above. I have added a local public rotine in the user control and call it from the web from, which just works perfect. I am guessing the visibility might be the issue with LoadControl and CTtype method. Again booler mentioned about define the control publically. Very curious how to make public the control defined as below<asp:LinkButton ID="lbLogOff" runat="server" OnClick="lbLogOff_Click" Visible="False"
CausesValidation="False">Log Off</asp:LinkButton> <a href="pcalogin.aspx">Login</a>Regards,
Prakash

In ASP.NET 1.1, there were 2 ways to do it- you could find the control declaration in your code-behind and change the scope from protected to public/friend, or you could set a property. It is far better OO practice to set a property, because all objects should be self-contained, and making an object's field public breaks this containment, and this can cause all kinds of trouble if you get into the habit of doing it. In ASP.NET 2.0, the control declarations are not in the code-behind any more, so you have to use properties anyway.
This is how you set a property in VB.NET:
Friend Property TextBoxVisible() As Boolean
Get
Return Me.TextBox1.Visible
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Boolean)
Me.TextBox1.Visible = value
End Set
End Property
If you put this in your user control, you can now hide the textbox using:
MyUserControlId.TextBoxVisible = False
Hope this helps.
