UserControl

If I place a usercontrol .ascx on a webform .aspx, is there a way to access
the clientid propery of controls on the webform .aspx from within the
Page_Load of the .ascx.

For example, I have a webform with ...

<asp:textbox id="txtOne" runat="server">

and a usercontrol ...

<test:usercontrol id="testUserControl" runat="server">

Now, how can i access the clientid of txtOne from within the Page_Load event
of the UserControl?

Hi,

generally it is not good idea to access Page from the control because it
would make the control specific to that page. Therefore more suitable would
be declaring property in the UC (representing the ClientID), which Page
could set in code.
