    Passing web form controls from a page to an external class

    I have a web form that has controls to be modified on it. The class that
    will modify the controls is not contained inside the page code. How would I
    best pass the controls to the external class?

      As a parameter (MyInstance.MyM ethod MyControl) ?

      You may want to elaborate a bit as you likely have a particular problem ?
      Your code is in App_Code ???

          Hi...

          I dont use app_code since I am using web application projects instead of
          website projects. This is what is going on. I have a page called Create.aspx
          that has some controls on it (3 labels, 2 textboxes, 2
          requiredFieldVa lidators , 2 textboxcounters and a linkButton). I have to
          change state of the controls (1 label, 2 textboxes, 2
          requiredFieldVa lidators, 2 textboxCounters and linkButton). The state of
          these controls listed above depends on the CommandName of the link button.
          Along with all of this control state switching, I need to create and fill
          dataset with different values from the 2 textboxes. To reduce code clutter,
          I was told that I should put the code that changes the state of these
          controls outside of the page itself. Any advice on what way to go from here?

              Your best bet would be likely to discuss with the architect that told you to
              do so...

              In this case you may want to turn this set of controls into a user or custom
              controls (googling for this should return tons of links) so that you can
              reuse the same ui in other pages...

              More generally either :
              - the routine is specific to a page and you can then keep it inside a page
              - or it could be called from another page and then you could put this in
              your own utilities class so that you can call this from anywhere

              Also you don't necessarily have to pass the whole control. You could just
              call a function that would provide the single state (visible, enabled or
              whatever else) that should be applied to this control. This is only if you
              do something very specific on a particular control type and that you could
              call this from multiple pages that you could put this inside your own
              utility class...

              In all cases, you'll pass data back and forth using arguements (or perhaps
              using properties if you are using a class that can perform long term
              operations on the same data)
