You have provided an example of how to create a dynamic RadPageView, loading a dynamic user control.
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet/prometheus/TabStrip/Examples/ApplicationScenarios/DynamicPageView/DefaultCS.aspx

How does one then pass a variable value into this dynamic user control?

Your example doesn't show that.

thanks.

Moon.

Hey Moon,

what about

((MyUserControlType)multiPage.Controls[0]).MySpecificStringProperty = "Something"; ?

or

((Label)multiPage.Controls[0].FindControl("MyLabel1")).Text = "Something"; ?

Cheers,

Sorry, that confuses me.

I use this in the PageViewCreated function:

        Dim userControlName As String = String.Empty
        userControlName = "~/Modules/Login/Controls/RegisterControl.ascx"
        Dim uc As Control = Page.LoadControl(userControlName)
        uc.ID = "pvRegister" & e.PageView.ID
        e.PageView.Controls.Add(uc)

At this point, my control ID will be "pvRegisterForum" perhaps.

My control name is: RegisterControl.ascx

I want to call this function, SetuserType, within my control:

Select Case e.PageView.ID
            Case Enums.UserType.Forums.ToString
                myControl.SetUserType(Enums.UserType.Forums)

How do I get the "myControl" value?
How do I find this control and use it to call the SetUserType function?

thanks.

BTW, I'm not certain the type to cast it to...

I've tried this:

        Dim myControl = DirectCast(RadMultiPage1.Controls(0).FindControl(uc.ID), RadPageView)
        myControl.SetUserType(Enums.UserType.Forums)

But it says SetUserType is not a member of RadPageView.

I'm really lost on this. Sorry.

Hey Moon,

You should use the following (assuming you use a web application project, but not a website):

Dim myControl = DirectCast(RadMultiPage1.Controls(0).FindControl(uc.ID), [MyUserControlTypeName])
        myControl.SetUserType(Enums.UserType.Forums)


I assume the user control has the SetUserType method already.

If having a web site, the things get a bit trickier:
You should create a base class (e.g. MyUserControlBase), deriving from UserControl to the App_Code folder. The base class should contain the SetUserType method in it. Then you should just modify your user control to inherit the MyUserControlBase class.
