Good afternoon,
I created a custom control, compiled it into a DLL, and added it to the BIN
directory. I placed an instance of the control in a webForm and am trying to
programatically change its properties via the Page_Load subroutine in a
code-behind file. Can someone please tell me the proper procedure for
declaring the new custom control in the code-behind file? I have supplied
all of the code associated with this very basic example and am using VS.NET.
The solution's name is "Learn"
Thank you in advance.

objTextWriter.AddAttribute("Color", Color)
objTextWriter.RenderBeginTag("Font")
objTextWriter.Write(Text)
objTextWriter.RenderEndTag()
End Sub
