Recommended way to add child controls in CreateChildCont rols

Hi all,

What is the recommended way to add child controls *around* existing
child controls in the CreateChildCont rols method (e.g. table, row and
cell controls for layout purposes)?

Is the best way to keep a reference to the existing child controls,
clear the Controls collection and then re-add everything along with the
layout controls, or insert the layout controls around the existing
controls in the existing Controls collection?

Thanks,

Paul

If I try to modify the Controls collection, I get a "The Controls
collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks"
error because my controls contain literal content (i.e. <%=
SomeValue%>). If I change the literal content to a <%# %tag it
doesn't get picked up and is rendered empty.

Is there any way to insert layout controls around the existing controls
and preserve the literal content?

Any help would be appreciated. I'm stuck on this one.

Thanks,

Paul

Hello, I have a composite WebControl that I'm dynamically instantiating at runtime using Reflection. When I create a new instance of my control I immediately iterate through it's child control collection (it has about 4 child controls). The problem is none of these controls are loaded or accessible when I create the instance since, I believe, they are created by the server at a later point in time. How could I force my composite control...

Hey guys, I am working on a web custom control that basically draws a table (ASP Table) with a few child controls in the cells. I have a command button inside one of these cells. The problem I am running into is that I cannot get the click event of this object handled. I have tried wiring the event with "AddHandler" among other things and that seems not to work neither.
