user controls

I'd like to build several reusable user controls. Each user control will
have a different set of text boxes for a form. Only one user control will
be on a page at a time. Based on the user's entry, the order of that the
user controls are displayed will change.

I see two options, but I'd like opinions on which is the more practical
method - perhaps there is an alternative:

1. Put the "submit" button on each user control. The user control (uc) then
magically communicates to the page the UC is on that the form was properly
processed, and that X should now happen.

2. Put the "submit" button the page, not on the user controls. The page
then magically communicates to the UC that the button was pushed, and then
the UC communicates back the page that Y should now happen.

Along those lines, should this be accomplished by handling events between
the page and the UC, or through properties of the UC? Again - just
searching for the most practical long term solution.

Thanks in advance.

So what I wound up with was an application that dynamically loads two user controls directly...

I have a web form with a button and a placeholder, the button adds a user control to the placeholder (and removes any existing controls). The user control contains a single button.

Here is the page architecture: Page loads multiple user controls (including nested user controls) dynamically based on parameters provided into place holders. Note: The page only has the logic to load the user controls and subscribe to custom event exposed in the user controls. Scenario: User comes to this page fills the fields generated by multiple user controls and then hits "Save" button in one of the forms.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
