Hi
Iam new to MS .Net technology just getting along with it....I created a
custom control ,which takes in a query and displays the data in a tabular
format....somet hing similar to a datagrid.
Since its a custom Control I drag and drop and use it in my Pages. I
overload the render method of my Custom Control and I pass the data that is
to be displayed.
Now there is a requisite I have to add a Control ( Say for ex a Dropdown
List box) Could you please suggest me how do I add a Web-Control dynamically from a
Custom -Control in to the webform.
You may want to take a look at the resources at
ASP.NET Server Controls
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...-us/vbcon/html
/vbconwebformsco ntrolssg.asp). In particular, you'll be creating a composite
control.
And someone could please suggest the difference between
A web ( server Control and a Custom Control).
Those are really two terms for the same thing, except that a Custom Control
is one that you create - it didn't come with .NET.
The other term which confused me as a newcomer was "user control". That's a
different animal, a greatly-simplified custom control with a large number of
restrictions.
You might also be interested in the following, if you'll be writing a lot of
custom controls:
