Trying to create Custom WebControl with Button click event method

[Novice]

I can't seem to get my Custom WebControl to output a button whose click event
is associated with a particular method.

Here is the code I have right now that contains a panel and there is a
button in that panel that should be associated with a event method - but it
isn't working:
protected override void Render(HtmlText Writer output)
{
Panel panel = new Panel();
nextButton = new Button();
nextButton.Text = "Submit";
nextButton.Clic k += new EventHandler(ne xtButtonClick);
nextButton.Visi ble = true;
panel.Controls. Add(nextButton) ;
Controls.Add(pa nel);
panel.RenderCon trol(output);
}

I should add that this Custom WebControl may eventually contain multiple
Panels - is this the proper inheritance for this Custom WebControl:
public class SurveyWebContro l : System.Web.UI.W ebControls.WebC ontrol,
System.Web.UI.I NamingContainer

Thanks,
Novice

Shouldn't you be doing it at the OnLoad() override? (checking for postback
of course)..

Hello Girish,

Anywhere prior to/including OnPreRender should be fine... You're right, Render isnt the place for this...
