Calling parent methods from a child

[Guest]

I have a user control that has two nested user controls within it. I have a
method in the parent called CloseDetailsMaint, and I need to be able to call
it from one of the child user controls that is nested within the parent. How
do I do this?

Parent.Page
You may have to cast it, and make sure it's set to Public in the parent

I tried Parent. Page.CloseDetailsMaint ();, but I got an exception during the
build saying that System.Web.UI.Page does not contain a definition for
"CloseDetailsMaint". Any ideas? The method is public and returns void.

You can Raise an Public Event in the child control, and this event is
implemented in the parent control, and there you can call the method you
need.

Jim,
While you've gotten your answer from others,you might want to take a look at
http://openmymind.net/communication/index.html which discusses strategies
to do this sort of thing.
