User Control in Windows Application

[Limno]

I created my user control for email validation in windows application(C# language).I am using it in the form, if the user leave that textbox it ll show message "E-Mail expected",if its correct value, then it ll be stored in another textbox. How can i retrieve values from the user control into textbox.
Eg. textbox1.text=U serControl1.tex t; But its not working.

Is there anyother way to use that usercontrol....

Thanks in Advance.

Your source code is wrong If your user control contains a textbox to enter email id.

The best way to retrieve value of text property of a textbox added in an user control is as follows.

this.TextBox1.T ext=UserControl 1.TextBox1.Text ;

Or if your user control will only have one Text property you would be referring too, you could add a public Text property to the user control. That way when you ask for UserControl1.Te xt, it gives you the text of it's textbox.

public string Text
{
     get
     {
         return textbox1.text;
     }
     set
     {
         textbox1.text = value;
     }
}

public string Text
{
     get
     {
         return textbox1.text;
     }
     set
     {
         textbox1.text = value;
     }
}

if i use this code, Hope this code must written some class. How could i call the value in form1...

You put it in your custom control.

From Form1 you call it from your reference to the custom control.

NiftyControl bob = new NiftyControl();// This is the instance of your custom control.
String email = bob.Text;// This is the Text property you just made that really gets its value from the TextBox.Text that is *on* your custom control
