Dmitry,

In the code-behind for the ASCX, declare a public (or protected withfriend) property that directly references the actual control:

Public Class MyUserControl
    Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl

Public ReadOnly Property dbVersion() As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label
    Get
        Return Me.dbVersion
    End Get
End Property
