Find radgrid ID from footer (ascx file)

[Andy]

Hi all,

In Footer(ascx file),I would like to find the Radgrid ID which comes from other pages that using the footer.
For example, "Car Information" page uses Radgrid to display car info and it uses "footer.ascx" as its footer.
Now, in the "footer.ascx", I want to get the Radgrid ID in order to change its skin.
Are there any ways to do this?

Thanks.

Andy.

Hello Andy,

One option is by using Page Item Collection, you can pass the grid from a web page to UserControl like below.

C#:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadGrid grid = (RadGrid)this.FindControl("RadGrid1");
        Page.Items.Add("Data", grid);
    }

UserControl code behind:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       RadGrid grid =(RadGrid)Page.Items["Data"];
       grid.Skin = "Outlook";

   }

Thanks,
Princy.
