Nested User Controls - how to best get a reference to an ancestor control

Question

I realize that a whole lot of code cannot fit here, but I am asking for general direction or pointer.

I have .NET user controls nested six deep for an interactive gadget

Answer 1

public static class Extension{
 public static Control FindControlRecursive(this Control control, string idToFind)
 {
     Control result;
     if(control != null){
        result = control.FindControl(idToFind);
     }
     if(result != null){ return result; }
     if(result == null && control.Parent != null){
         return control.Parent.FindRecursive(idToFind);
     }
     return null;
  }
}
