Re: Update Web User Control From App_Code Class

a better approach instead of reflection is to have the control implement a value interface. then the appcode just casts the control to the interface and calls the properties and methods directly.
public interface IControlValue
{
string Value { get; set; }
}
implement in your user control. as the control has the code, just add the interface to the class def.
then from app code call
string v = ((IControlValue) myData.FormControl).Value;
if you make FormControl a IControlValue you don't even need a cast.

Hi.
I have been looking for a few hours and couldn't find much in these
groups, so I thought I would post it here in case anybody else is
trying to figure it out.
I have an ascx User control with an attribute called 'Value'. I want
to set this at run time from a class with App_Code. I pass the control
to the class as a generic Control (called myData.FormControl here). I
am setting the 'Value' attribute to the string held in
row[myData.FieldName].ToString().
Type CurrentType = myData.FormControl.GetType();
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo myValue =
CurrentType.GetProperty("Value");
myValue.SetValue(myData.FormControl, row[myData.FieldName].ToString(),
null);
Hope this helps someone (and makes sense - I have posted the whole
method below to try to help clarify). There appear to be a lot of
complicated ways of achieving this, such as placing the .acsx in the
App_Code folder and writing Interfaces, but this seems to work ok.
