Apologies if this is something really simple.
I've found various C# examples here, but I can't seem to get a VB version working.
I want to be able to pass a simple variable into a User Control to determine whether it shows a certain section of data.
It's basically a Customer Data form, and in some circumstances I need to show a line with the customers account number and sort code, and in some I don't, so my user control:
<controls:customerForm ID='customerForm' showBankDetails="no" runat='server' />
But I can't work out what to do with the showBankDetails variable in Code Behind to stop it from rendering that section, or simply hide it with a CSS snippet.
How do I access that variable in the code behind using VB.NET?
Normally I'd have optional stuff in a asp:panel on the page in the right spot, and in the page load or where ever, do something like:
me.OptionalStuffPanel.Visible = me.ShowBankDetails
ShowBankDetails would need to be defined as a public property of the page class:
private _ShowBankDetails as boolean
Public Property ShowBankDetails() As boolean
Get
Return _ShowBankDetails
End Get
Set(ByVal value As boolean)
_ShowBankDetails = value
End Set
End Property
If you want the property to appear in the property grid here is an article to show you how!
