Simple User Control

[Mark123]

I've got a user control, its a div with background image and a label on top. I've added the control to default.aspx and now I am trying to set the label.text of the control to "Text".

I keep getting a null reference exception.

Here's the property on the user control

Public Property LabelText2() As String
        Get
            Return Label2.Text
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            Label2.Text = value
        End Set
    End Property

When I hit set it says null exception Label2.text

Here's the call from aspx page
I am passing in a list of folder names and I want those names to show up on each one of the controls

Private Sub CreateTable(ByVal Rows As Integer, ByVal FldrNames() As String, ByVal Fldrcollection As Generic.IList(Of ASP.ui_controls_folder_ascx))

        Dim rowCnt As Integer
        Dim cellCnt As Integer
        Dim index As Integer = 0

        For rowCnt = 1 To Rows + 1
            Dim tRow As New TableRow
            For cellCnt = 1 To 3
                Dim tCell As New TableCell
                Dim fldrcontrol As New ASP.ui_controls_folder_ascx
                If Not FldrNames(index) Is Nothing Then
                    tCell.Controls.Add(fldrcontrol)
                    fldrcontrol.ID = "Folder" + index.ToString 'works fine
                    fldrcontrol.LabelText2 = FldrNames(index) 'bombs out
                    tRow.Cells.Add(tCell)

                End If
                index = index + 1
            Next
            Me.Table1.Rows.Add(tRow)
        Next

Thanks for the help.

Welcome to the forums, when posting code it helps to use the code tags btw.

Looks like this works fine

Dim fldrcontrl As New ASP.ui_controls_folder_ascx
            
Me.RadAjaxPanel1.Controls.Add(fldrcontrl)
fldrcontrl.ID = "Folder5"
fldrcontrl.LabelText2 = "Testing"

Looks like I figured it out on my own. Adding the control to the Cell didnt initialize the label. Once I added the entire table to the ASP page then I could access all of the controls properties.

' Create the Table
        Dim rowCnt As Integer
        Dim cellCnt As Integer

        Dim index As Integer = 0

        For rowCnt = 1 To Rows + 1
            Dim tRow As New TableRow
            For cellCnt = 1 To 3
                Dim tCell As New TableCell
                Dim fldrcontrol As New ASP.ui_controls_folder_ascx
                If Not FldrNames(index) Is Nothing Then

                    tCell.Controls.Add(fldrcontrol)
                    fldrcontrol.ID = "Folder" + index.ToString
                    fldrcollection.Add(fldrcontrol)
                    tRow.Cells.Add(tCell)

                End If
                index = index + 1
            Next
            Me.Table1.Rows.Add(tRow)
        Next

        'Change the label on each Item

        For index = 0 To fldrcollection.Count
            fldrcollection(index).LabelText = FldrNames(index)
        Next
