asp.net composite controls

[Philip Townsend]

I have built a composite control containing a calendar, two
dropdownlists, and a button. Currently I have only the index of each
control as a means of formatting. What is the normal way of formatting
the layout of the controls in a composite control? Thanks!

First, there's no such thing as a composite control. Do you mean that you
have a user control?

Second, what do you mean by 'formatting'?

I have always thought there ARE composite controls. Yet, if an MVP speaks
up, I usually prick up my ears. So, to make sure, I checked and re-checked
Help in my VS/2003. This is what I've found:

A composite control is a web custom control made up of standard web
server controls. Call it what you will...

So does anyone have ANY feedback on this? (Mickey Williams? MVP?)
