Well my friend what you are talking bout is a custom web control.
You have two options.
1. Creating everything yourself (Even emitting the correct html code.)
2. User a composite control which is exactly what it means. You consume
other controls and delegate the task. But you have to ensure that you call
EnsureChildCont rols has been called
Yes you can define your own properties and you can set one of the properties
to style. Which will give you the position of control
If you need style settings for child controls too... then try something like
datagrid... you have PagerStyle and ItemStyle.
I think i have seen a book from wrox press on custom web controls. Should
sort you out.... To start up just look at the link i gave you earlier. or
try this one...

for creating custom web controls.... You can look on asp.net books as
well... they generally do have a chapter on creating controls.. and atleast
an example of each...

This does nothing for me. I need to be able to access other controls on
the page. Be able to position the control. Actually what I want to know is
if I can from scratch create a new user control . Add child controls to
this. Add code to this. Add properties to this. Use the resultant control.
Sorry if I seem bitchy but I am now on the 42nd page of the google search
and still no resolution.
Having VS 2003 at the present is as usefull as notepad. And notepad takes
less memory.
