ASP.Net User Control

Question

I'm trying to build an ASP.net user control that uses a Repeater to iterate over a number of items in an ObjectDataSource that I need to pass in to the user control. I'm not sure how to pass the object data source in though. Any one know how to do this?

Answer 1

You can create a property in the user control and pass it to the repeater.

public class CustomUserControl
{
  private Repeater repeater;

  public ObjectDataSource DataSource
  {
    get
    {
      return this.repeater.DataSource;
    }
    set
    {
      this.repeater.DataSource = value;
    }
  }
}
