Re: User control visibility

Ideally Mark for 'good' design, you should include a property to get/set the
text if all you want is to change the text.

Hi Mark,

In ASP.NET version 2.0 compilation model, controls like this one are
built in the containing control type as protected members and their
visibility could not be changed.
I discourage trying to break this behavior but, if you really need to,
you can break the encapsulation of the former control and let users
access the latter using  a public property like this one (C# code):

// Assuming your inner textbox is named "txtInnerTextBox"

public TextBox InnerTextBox
{
    get
    {
       return txtInnerTextBox;
    }
}
