Custom control not casting

I have a custom composite control which was made from a textbox control
on my ASPX page. Why when I find the control using Page.FindControl, it
is coming up as a regular system.ui.webcontrol.textbox control and not
my custom control? I cannot even cast to my control. And when I cast to
a regular textbox no error is generated but it does not work. Has
anyone had this problem?

Custom control vs Composite

Use a CustomControl and all is fine.
