Making Tag with Web.UI.Control

[Ros]

Group,
Is there anyway to create a tag on a Web.UI.Control?

Lets say the label, can i add a Tag (property) like Common Form Controls have.

How does rending work? would i be able to use that to over ride the property
and add a custom tag?

I would like to add the tag so i can include the parameters on the
particular tag... so when i call a parameter SQL statement... i can use the
loop or do condition untill it finds the parameter value for that particular
control by using the tag string (parsing it or tag.contain(strSearch))

Any help or point me to the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Ros,

Overriding .Tag is NOT a good idea. People expect .Tag to be under their
control.. not the control's control. Create a new property to hold your
crap.

Boo,

When you mentioned "Create a new property", did you mean create a custom
attribute?

AttributeTargets.Property?
if this is correct, you have greatly helped. Please advice.

Thanks again in advance.
