C# asp.net-web user control pass data

Hi,
I am having troubles passing data to a web user control from an aspx page.
I have a dropdown list of projects which is populated through a database, i want to pass the selected projects ID to the web control page but I cant see how to get the value, or i've done something else wrong.
Does anyone know what I need to change to get the projectID in the control page?

Thanks

you have defined the property name in ProjectViewTableControl user control for Project Id as "ProjectID"
but in project.aspx.cs in function ProjectListSelected you are accesing
ProjectViewTable1.ProjectViewTableGuid = new Guid(ProjectList.SelectedValue);
where this "ProjectViewTableGuid " is defined??

lol, ProjectViewTableGuid is not defined anywhere, I was trying to use some code that someone else advised me to use on here, i did try and use ProjectViewTable where i am now using ProjectViewTableGuid . I dont really know what i'm doing!! hence me asking for help!!

So what should I be using instead of ProjectViewTableGuid , or where should i be defining it?
