Is there a way to access the default console object in a
template's code behind? I've noticed that when I drag a
default console on a template page it doens't create an
object reference in the code behind for the object. For
example
Microsoft.ContentManagement.WebControls.ConsoleControls.De
faultConsole...

Is there a way to get to that object?

Thanks!

Yes, there is - here's some code that may help:

protected
Microsoft.ContentManagement.WebControls.ConsoleControls.Con
sole DefaultConsole1;

private void Page_Load(object sender,
System.EventArgs e)
{
//accessing the console's
properties
string clientID = DefaultConsole1.ClientID;
}

Thanks,
One more question, I get an error when I do that
declaration...

Any Ideas?

Thanks!

You're absolutely right, I didn't test the code I posted
earlier, so it's completely rubbish. My apologies...

Here's the corrected, tested and working code:

protected MyNamespace.Console.DefaultConsole
DefaultConsole1;

private void Page_Load(object sender,
System.EventArgs e)
{
// Put user code to initialize the
page here
Response.Write
(DefaultConsole1.ClientID);
}

Replace "MyNamespace" with the namespace of your
application.
