    SQLDataSource parameter referencing a text box in a user control?

    I have a user control (.ascx) with a combo box in it. I place it and a
    SQLDataSource control on a web form. I want a SQLDataSource parameter to
    point to the combo box, but it seems that the control parameters can only see
    controls in the same container.

    <asp:ControlPar ameter ControlID="cboP rojects"
    Name="ProjectID " PropertyName="S electedValue"
    Type="Int32" />


    The above works if cboProjects is in the same container, but not if it's in
    the .ascx. I've tried various names in the ControlID value i.e.
    mycontrol.cboPr ojects.

    Is there any way to make this work? My only other idea is a hidden text
    field and some code to fill it in. Not a very elegant solution, but I
    haven't found anything better.

    Thanks
