How to initialize a ASP.NET User Control With parameter?

For example, I have a user control(ascx) with a label inside, I will use the the user control in my aspx page.

How can I pass a string value to the ascx page so that it can be display in the label of ascx page at the beginning?

You can expose whatever controls you want access to in your user control by creating property for them.

In the past when I have had user controls that required certain data for setup I would create an Initialize method which would take in and setup whatever was needed.

Add this...

public string Whatever
{
get { return label.Text; }
set { label.Text = value; }
}

to your ascx control. Then from the page you are putting it in you can just set the text like... usercontrol.Whatever = "text to display";

or you can use the Whatever as a property on the aspx side of the page.
