Are user controls the best way to provide controls for WebParts?

jm
Some of the articles I have read are old, and I just don't know if
user controls .ascx are still used widely. I know they can be
created, but if very few use them today it makes me think I shouldn't
either or that there is some better way. I have used them in
tutorials with web parts, but the articles were several years old.

What I have in reality is a gridview. Would it be bad practice to put
that gridview in a user control and drop that usercontrol .ascx in a
webpart? If so I would end up with having many datacontrol items in
one page, all their separate user control. It is a cms, but again, is
this the "right way" to do it? I don't know another way I would do
it, but that is besides the point.

Thank you.

I have an almost finished page that uses webparts. And this is the expected functionality. A logged on user hits a button and the button opens a WebPart.

I've run into a few problems trying to use generics for user controls (classes derived from UserControl). I'm using the Web Application model rather than the Web Site model. The first problem I'm having is that the partial class signature in my projectDetails.ascx.cs file looks like this: public partial class ProjectDetailsControl<TEntryServiceProvider: UserControl, INamingContainer where TEntryServiceProvider : IEntryServiceProvider...

Hello everyone, Here is what I would like to accomplish, I have a webpart 'portal' where each webpart is in an updatepanel. I would like the page to load and the webparts to load as they become available. Currently, the page renders after all controls/webparts are loaded. Then when there are postbacks, the updatepanels work great. Is there a way to do this with theses controls (built-in ajax.net type stuff) or will I need to finally...

I am exploring converting my web app (current Framework 1.1) to Framework 2.0. Everything went smoothly save for one item. To reduce the trips to the database, when loading user controls (like a large datagrid or form), we store the grid or form in Session Object. On PostBack we grab the control from the session, add it to our main form. In VS 2003 (1.1), the page will fire any event called in the custom control, e.g, cmdSave_Click. ...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
