Updating a web user control based on another web user control

I have a web user control which has a Treeview control inside it. I have created another user control which contains a Gridview along with a couple of other controls.

The Gridview, should update itself whenever the user开发者_如何学JAVA selects a different TreeNode from my Treeview.

After some searching, What could possibly be the solution:

• Add and raise an event from the user control that fires when the Treeview selected node changes. Creating a custom event argument that contains the node value, allows it to get passed directly to the event handler.

If so, can you show me a basic working example which implements this approach?

Thanks.

You could let your main page code behind handle a custom event from the Treeview control. Then in the event handler call a public method in the gridview control.

If control1 is your tree control and control2 is your grid control:

Main Page aspx (set control1 event handler to a method in this page):

<%@ Register Src="~/Controls/WebUserControl1.ascx" TagName="Control1" TagPrefix="ctrl" %>
<%@ Register Src="~/Controls/WebUserControl2.ascx" TagName="Control2" TagPrefix="ctrl" %>
<ctrl:Control1 ID="control1" runat="server" OnTreeNodeChanged="Control1_TreeNodeChanged" />
<ctrl:Control2 ID="control2" runat="server" />

Main Page code behind:

    public void Control1_TreeNodeChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        control2.ReloadGrid();
    }

Tree control code

public event EventHandler TreeNodeChanged;

protected void FromYourTreeNodeEvent(object o, EventArgs e)
{
    //fire your custom event

    if (TreeNodeChanged!= null)
    {
        TreeNodeChanged(this, EventArgs.Empty);
    }            
}

Grid control code

    public void ReloadGrid()
    {
        //do something
    }
