VB.NET

<DefaultValue("")>
Public Property ClientInstanceName As String

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
String	String.Empty	A string value that specifies the control’s client identifier.

Remarks

Use the ClientInstanceName property to specify a unique client-side identifier for the ASPxGaugeControl control. The ClientInstanceName property’s value can be used on the client-side to programmatically access the client object rendered for the ASPxGaugeControl control in client-side script.

If the ClientInstanceName property is not specified for a control, the control’s client identifier is generated automatically and equals the value of the control’s ID property. Note that in this case, client-side programmatic access to the control is not allowed when the control is contained within a naming container.

Special Characters in Client Instance Name

If the ClientInstanceName property contains special characters, for instance, the dot (.), you cannot access a client object by this name. Call the GetByName(name) method to retrieve the client-side object instead.

<dx:ASPxTextBox ... ClientInstanceName="SomeType.SomeProp" />

var txt = ASPxClientControl.GetControlCollection().GetByName("SomeType.SomeProp");  
txt.SetText("Some Text");
