Dynamic binding to statically declared custom server control?

[Donal McWeeney]

Hi,

Not sure if I am using the correct terminology, but why can I dynamically
bind to statically declared asp.net server controls but cannot do so with
custom server controls - with the custom controls I get a null reference
exception. Is there any workarounds...

eg.

In my aspx page I declare the following:

<%@ Page language="C#" Inherits="MyCustomPage, etc" %>
<%@ Register Tagprefix="MCC" Namespace="MyCustomControls" Assembly="etc" %>


<MCC:CustomInputBox runat="server" id="customInputBox" ... />



In my backend class...

public class MyCustomPage : Page
{
// Page controls
protected CustomInputBox customInputBox ;


Thanks

Donal
