Alessandro,
That was it ...spot on. Thanks.
In the interest of information sharing, my code ended up as:
foreach (Control ctrl in Page.Controls)
{
foreach (Control chldControl in ctrl.Controls)
{
if (chldControl.GetType() ==
typeof(myWebControlLibrary.SearchResults))
((myWebControlLibrary.SearchResults)chldControl).P erformSearch(this,
new SearchActivatedEventArgs(queryExpression, coveoInstanceName,
coveoCollectionNames, useWildcards));
}
}
