.NET Forum / ASP.NET / Web Controls / December 2004cannot find the user control with it's ID
I have this simple user control having a Datalist with id="MyDataList" in my page but I can't find it using the Page.FindControl() method. So I set the trace mode on and I see it is there but since it is placed under a panel control which automatically has the id "ctrl02" my user control is "ctrl02$MyDataList" Why is that?!?! > I have this simple user control having a Datalist with > id="MyDataList" in my page but I can't find it using the [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Why is that?!?! Very simple: otherwise you would get a duplicate ID (MyDataList) when you add your control to the page twice.  SignatureEdge well I can't understand that since I choose the ID and so it would be my mistake?! How the heck can I find the control with Page.Findcontrol() if .Net suffixes my ID with some random name?? >> I have this simple user control having a Datalist with >> id="MyDataList" in my page but I can't find it using the [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Very simple: otherwise you would get a duplicate ID > (MyDataList) when you add your control to the page twice. Yeah, you won't be able to find a control within another control. Assuming you put a user control with an ID of MyUserControl in the page, you might be able to have your page's code use MyUserControl.FindControl("MyDataList").
