Make the fields available as public properties of your user control. Something like

public class MyControl
{
    public Label LabelX { get { return m_LabelX; } }
    public Label LabelY { get { return m_LabelY; } }
}

where m_LabelX and in your main page then access the label like this

var userControlLabel = ((MyControl)m_UserControl).LabelX;
