how to access the text property of a label using attributes.add

actually i have written the following code

THIS code is written in .cs file where iam trying to get reference of the control from the .aspx page

HttpContext.Current.Session["selected"] = dt;
Page page = HttpContext.Current.Handler as Page;
WebControl testcontrol = (WebControl)page.FindControl("lblHierarchy");

testcontrol.Attributes.Add("Text","sometext");

the above code works fine but the text is shown as "" (blank)

any help would be appreciated

thanks

0	Control.Attributes.Add method is used to add the client side attribute of the control not server side property. In this case suppose you WebControl has a property called Text and simply use testcontrol.Text = "SomeText"; // Adding client side attribute. This will not display anything but add Text attribute of the span tag like <span id="txtTest" text="fdasfd">RAN</span> Label lbl = (Label) Page.FindControl("txtTest"); lbl.Attributes.Add("text", "fdasfd"); // Adding server side attribute lbl.Text = "RAN"; Regards, Sheo Narayan http://www.dotnetfunda.com Ragha, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
