How can I get value of textbox on a user control

Hi All, I have a user control which has a textbox on it, now this usercontrol is on another user control which I am using on aspx page how can I get value of the textbox on the first user control.

From stackoverflow

• Write a property in your usercontrol to expose its contents, e.g.,

  public string TextBoxValue
  {
      get { return txtControl1.Text; }
  }
  

  This way you can get the value of the textbox without exposing the whole textbox control as a public object.

• Jon Limjap's answer provides the best solution for this kind of problem - Expose control values using Public properties.

  However, if you do not want to do it this way (or you have to do this for a lot of controls and want to avoid creating Public properties for each control), you could use Reflection to "find the control" in the ChildControls of the required UserControl:

  TextBox txt = UserControl1.FindControl("myTextBox") as TextBox;
  
  if (txt != null)
  {
    string val = txt.Text;
  }
