Event from one WebControl triggering an event in another Web control

Hi,

I have two WebControls. The first is basically a form, and the second
consumes a Web service, based on the input from the first WebControl
form.

My question is this: How do I get an event from the first WebControl
(such as the searchButton.Click), to trigger something in the second
Web Control? Or BETTER, how do I get the second Web Control to listen
for an event fired from the first control (This would be preferred, as
there is always the possibility that the second WebControl does not
exist)?

Some examples would be appreciated. If I resolve this, I will share
with the group!

Steve,

That was good (appart from the anoying adverts over the contents of
your page!). However, is there any way to get two components to
communicate without having to rely on the parent Page? (also, any C#
examples would be appreciated!)
