"ASP.NET 2005 custon server control" in "ASP.NET 2003 application"

[Electric Co.]

Hello,

I have two questions:

1.) Could I create a custom server control in 2005 in order to leverage
the CompositeContro l base class and then use that control in 2003?
(fingers crossed but guessing aboslutely not)

2.) How good does ASP.NET 2005 handle a custom composite control inside
of a custom composite control ?

For example:

Cntrl_A inherits from CompositeContro l and does all sorts of neat stuff

Cntrl_B also inherits from CompositeContro l and has two instances of
Cntrl_A (as per below)

Protected Overrides Sub CreateChildCont rols()
Controls.Clear( )

cntrl_A1= New Cntrl_A()
cntrl_A1.ID = "FirstContr ol"
cntrl_A2= New Cntrl_A()
cntrl_A2.ID = "SecondCont rol"

Me.Controls.Add (cntrl_A1)
Me.Controls.Add (cntrl_A2.)
End Sub

Thinking MicroSoSoft may have troubles with postbacks and validations
if controls get nested too deep. If not then I might need to upgrade.

Thanx in advance.

You are a great guesser.

cntrl_A2= New Cntrl_A()
cntrl_A2.ID = "SecondCont rol"

Me.Controls.Add (cntrl_A1)
Me.Controls.Add (cntrl_A2.)
End Sub

It should not be a problem. You have to nest pretty deep before you get
yourself into serious trouble. Poorly designed controls can certainly cause
problems, however.
