I have a simple skin object and want it to have part of its content come from a string in the skin so my skin object will look like this

<rci:COMPNAME runat="server" id="rciCOMPNAME" ProgamType="BQ-9000 Quality Management Program"  />

and my code  looks like

Me.lblCompanyName.Text = objBQ9000.BQ9000_GetCompanyName(CompanyID) & ProgramType

in the page load and then i have a property

Private _ProgramType As String

Public Property ProgramType() As String

Get

Return _ProgramType

End Get

Set(ByVal value As String)

_ProgramType = value

End Set

End Property

however my string from the skin never shows up - what am I missing?
