Control.Parent Property
.NET Framework 3.0
Gets a reference to the server control's parent control in the page control hierarchy.
Namespace: System.Web.UI
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
The following example sets a new Control object on a page, myControl1, to the control specified in a FindControl method call. If the call returns a control, the code uses the Parent property to identify the control that contains myControl1. If the parent control exists, the string "The parent of the text box is" is concatenated with the ID property of the parent control and written to the Page. If no parent control is found, the string "Control not found" is written.
private void Button1_Click(Object sender, EventArgs myEventArgs)
{
// Find control on page.
Control myControl1 = FindControl("TextBox2");
if (myControl1 != null) {
// Get control's parent.
Control myControl2 = myControl1.get_Parent();
this.get_Response().Write("Parent of the text box is : "
+ myControl2.get_ID());
}
else {
this.get_Response().Write("Control not found");
}
}//Button1_Click
