Passing Data Between Two ASCX controls within a ASPX page

So the search form captures the information and the summary displays it?

the SearchForm.ascx contains the form itself - OnClick of the submit button  I want the details of the form fields to be accessible in Summary.ascx

What you need to do is expose public properties on the Summary.ascx control that can be used by the page to populate it.  Then when the OnClick is pressed and your page executes code in response, the page can then populate the Summary.ascx control using the public properties.  Sometimes the easiest way to do this is to declare the UI objects in the Summary.ascx control as Public instead of protected.

Ok I kinda see what your coming from but havent dealt with public properties before so not sure how to go about it, can you show me what you mean?

p.s - I'm using VB.NET :)

Here is a sample from the Microsoft site: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/26db8ysc(VS.80).aspx

NOTE: You don't have to set the properties in the HTML tag.  You can do it in your code as well.

Excellent! OK I get how to set the public string but how then do you display the public string in the second ascx control?

Thanks for your help with this one, I managed to crack it!
