>I'm designing a web form that has a user defined control (ascx) on it. This ascx needs values from parent container controls. How do I pass values to the child ascx? I need these values when the ascx's Save button is clicked. I don't know if session variables would be appropriate or not?

An alternate way of doing this, assuming the value you are retrieving is coming from something the end user has typed in/selected, is to just access the HTML field directly (and bypass the fancy object model built up by ASP.NET). For example, if you've got a text field named "txtSample", and you need to get this value in your ASCX file, you can grab them directly using code like this in your ASCX's code-behind page:

try
{
   string Sample = Request.Form["txtSample"];
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
   // something weird
}
