>>The problem is that the control txtMyEntry is not recognized. Therefore you can't use any properties (get or set) of the text box. I think that to "expose" properties of the txtMyEntry textbox I need to do some coding in one of the methods of the user control (container). But I don't know what and not finding any articles on the web. I have a book where the author say it can be done and you can see it in the accompanied code to the book. But I can't find where to download the source for the book either.
