How to reference a control inside a user control?

Question

User930584213 posted

I have created a simple user control and when I press a button I want to load some data into one of its labels.  I can't use find control directly from the ContentPlaceHolder (I'm using a master template).  Apparently the user control is its own container.  How do I reference the user control's type?  If I use Object to cast the user control then I can't call FindControl on the user control.  Here's my example that doesn't work:

Prefix:ControlName oControl = (Prefix:ControlName) oContentPlaceHolder1.FindControl("UserControlName");

I would go back to your user control and add a read/write property "lblNAME_Text" or something like that which would populate the label.
