Hi krunal, i tried creating a property in the user control that has tree view and tried to access that using the User Control's object. But the problem is that the class is not public. The point shelby specified below do crossed my mind, but as I said the class is not public. I think I have to make it public and try the way Shelby specified below.

Solution 1

In user control 2...

var treeview = (TreeView)this.Page.FindControl("MyTreeViewID");

Something like that should work.

The two user controls are within another user control which also has the tree view.So this.Parent.FindControls("xxxx"), it should get the control rt???

Yeah that should get the control.
