Is it possible for
a user control to determine its "context" or its parent .aspx page in some way?
Right now I have
a user control that is declared on
a typical .aspx page as follows:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="uc1" TagName="ManageTitle" Src="../UserControls/ManageTitle.ascx" %>
The user control currently emits
a textbox as follows:
<asp:textbox id="txtTitle" runat="server" MaxLength="60"
ToolTip="Describe the item with
a short pithy title - most important keywords first"/>
The page_load for this .ascx file is currently like this:
Me.txtTitle.Text = SetPageTitle()
While some places in this web app need this (i.e.
a textbox where end-user can type
a "title"), I have other places where I want to show the "title" information in
a "read-only" way. For example, rather than
a textbox, I could use
a label control or
a textbox with Enabled="false" to prevent
data entry.
I suppose I could clone this small .ascx file and append
a suffix to its name like _RO.ascx or something but I am wondering what the best approach would be.
In short, can
a user control get some sort of "context" from the page that declares it or is there an altogether better way to accomplish this sort of thing? Thank you.
