Control.EnsureChildControls Method
Determines whether the server control contains child controls. If it does not, it creates child controls.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
This method first checks the current value of the ChildControlsCreated property. If this value is false, the CreateChildControls method is called.
ASP.NET calls this method when it needs to make sure that child controls have been created. In most cases, custom server control developers do not need to override this method. If you do override this method, use it in a similar fashion as its default behavior.
The following example uses the EnsureChildControls method to ensure that the current server control has child controls. It then gets or sets a Text property for a child TextBox Web control in the current server control's ControlCollection object.

This example has a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview. |
' Ensure the current control has children, ' then get or set the Text property. Public Property Value() As Integer Get Me.EnsureChildControls() Return Int32.Parse(CType(Controls(1), TextBox).Text) End Get Set Me.EnsureChildControls() CType(Controls(1), TextBox).Text = value.ToString() End Set End Property
