Accordian - How to refer to contained controls in code behind?

Hi,

If i put regular asp.net controls into an accordian pane they are not visible in the code behind file. In other words i cant get mydropdown.selectedvalue if mydropdown is contained in an accordian pane because the compiler will complain that mydropdown doesn't exist? My work around has been to put content into user controls and put the ascx's into the content panes but is this standard practise?

Thanks

Richard

Hi Richard,

Since the AccordionPanes can be databound, they implement theINamingContainer interface and you're unable to access them directly in your code behind. You can work around this withDropDownList list = MyAccordion.FindControl("MyDropDown") as DropDownList;.

Thanks,
