web-user-controls

Surprised that i havent been able to find this myself, but anyway. Let's say i use my web user control like this:

<myprefix:mytag userid="4" runat="server">Some fancy text</myprefix:mytag>

How would i be able to access the text inside the tags from its codebehind? Was expecting it to be exposed through this.Text, this.Value or something similar.
