User control with sub controls

[PEK]

I know how to create and use user controls, by I find them sometimes to
limited. I sometimes want to creating something like this:

<test:mycontr ol runat="server">
<p>Some text</p>
</test:mycontrol>

I also want to do something like this:

<test:mymenu runat="server">
<test:mymenuite m>Item 1</test:mymenuitem >
<test:mymenuite m>Item 2</test:mymenuitem >
<test:mymenuite m>Item 3</test:mymenuitem >
<test:mymenuite m>Item 4</test:mymenuitem >
</test:mymeny>

But when I tries do that in a control a gets an error message like
"Literal content ('xyz') is not allowed within a
'ASP.thecontrol _ascx'". Is it possible to solve this problem?

The best resource I've found for helping build custom controls like this
is "ASP.NET Server Controls and Components". It goes into good detail showing
how to design & build controls (and how to apply the custom attributes) to
get what you want.

Thanks, I didn't know it was server controls I was searching for :-).
And the book seems to be interesting too.
