title: Finding an ascx control inside aspx
body: <p>I'm finding a dropdown in an ascxcontrol on my aspx in the following way.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim cp As ContentPlaceHolder = DirectCast(Page.Form.FindControl("ContentPlaceHolder1"), ContentPlaceHolder)
  Dim ascx As UserControl = DirectCast(cp.FindControl("drpType"), UserControl)
  Dim drpType As DropDownList = DirectCast(ascx.FindControl("drpType"), DropDownList)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a faster way without having to acces all the elements on the page?</p>
