Access usercontrol public methods from parent form

Fahad Abdul Azeez

Hi,

I have a parent form named 'MainForm' & usercontrol as a child named UcTxView. UcTxView has a public method called 'Save()'. I want to call this 'Save()' method from parent form (MainForm). 'UcTxView' wil be added on demand only, it means not in GUI designing time. How I can solve this.

all the comments & ideas will be appreciated.

If UcTxView is the type of the UserControl and (if it's been added) its name is ucTxView1, then this should work:

if (this.Controls.ContainsKey("ucTxView1"))
{
ucTxView uc = (ucTxView)this.Controls["ucTxView1"];
uc.Save();
}
