Question

Regarding this article, i have a question. I have adapted this for ASP.Net using vb.net and am unable to access the strSelStatusVal property It's really just a dropdown Web Control that I created for reuse. I just need to be able to access the selected value when a user clicks on it. '********************************************************************************************* 'START WEB USER CONTROL CODE '********************************************************************************************* ' Function: Page_Load '============================================================================================= Imports System.Data.SqlClient Public Class CBOStatus Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl Private strConn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("connstring")) Public strSelStatusVal As String Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load 'Put user code to initialize the page here If Not IsPostBack Then Dim strSQL As String Dim drStatus As SqlDataReader Dim cmdSelect As SqlCommand strSQL = "SELECT ID, Status FROM Status " cmdSelect = New SqlCommand(strSQL, strConn) Try strConn.Open() drStatus = cmdSelect.ExecuteReader ddStatus.DataSource = drStatus ddStatus.DataTextField = "Status" ddStatus.DataValueField = "ID" ddStatus.DataBind() Catch ex As Exception End Try End If End Sub '============================================================================================= ' Function: ddStatus_SelectedIndexChanged '--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Private Sub ddStatus_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ddStatus.SelectedIndexChanged strSelStatusVal = ddStatus.SelectedValue End Sub End Class <%@ Control Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="CBOStatus.ascx.vb" Inherits="IntranetSupportAppliation.CBOStatus" TargetSchema="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5" %> '********************************************************************************************* 'END WEB USER CONTROL CODE '********************************************************************************************* '********************************************************************************************* 'START WEB PAGE CONTROL CODE '********************************************************************************************* 'vb code Public Sub SaveTicket(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Dim CBOStatus As CBOStatus = New CBOStatus Dim strStatusID As String = CBOStatus.strSelStatusVal End Sub <%@ Register TagPrefix="uc1" TagName="CBOStatus" Src="Controls/CBOStatus.ascx" %> '********************************************************************************************* 'END WEB PAGE CONTROL CODE '********************************************************************************************* Of course, these are just small snippets of the actual code, but I cannot figure out why I can't access the PROPERTY strSelStatusVal
