Pass Web Part Property Value to User Control

Introduction:

In this article I will describe that how to pass web part properties into user control.
To do so I will take base of my below article where I explained that how to create user control, load it using webpart and deploy using feature.

Detail Steps:-

Once you read my article http://sharepoint.infoyen.com/2012/04/11/create-and-deploy-user-control-in-sharepoint-using-feature/ then you will understand that how to create, deploy user control using feature.
To pass webpart property into webpart follow below steps:-

1. Create web part property for example “EmpoyeeName” in webpart class “GenericUserControlPicker” , as mentioned below:-

private string employeeName = string.Empty;

[WebBrowsable(), Personalizable(),

WebDisplayName("Employee Name"),

WebDescription("Employee Name")]

public string EmployeeName

{

 get

 {

  return employeeName;

 }

 set

 {

  employeeName = value;

 }

}

2. Create regular c# .net property in user control as “EmpoyeeName” in user control class “HelloWorld”, as mentioned below:-

public string EmployeeName {get;set;}

3. Pass webpart property “EmployeName” value to user control as mentioned below code:

// this is line number 51 in "GenericUserControlPicker" class

userControl = (UserControl)LoadControl(UserControlPath);

// Check usercontrol is loaded or not.

// Also check if Employee Name has been entered or not

if(userControl!= null && !String.IsNullEmpty(EmployeeName))

{

 userControl.EmployeeName = EmployeeName;

}

4. Display webpart property “EmployeName” in user control, as mentioned below code:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

 lblTest.Text = EmployeeName;

}
