I've found a couple ...

I am wondering what server control people generally use for surrounding and separating blocks of related controls and content in a Web Forms scenario. Often times I need to surround a block of HTML and related Server controls with a 'panel' that I can show or hide based upon some UI logic in the code behind. I am usually faced with eit...
I am developing a web application that contains a great deal of reporting. The reports are fairly basic, but some have multiple datasets or embedded charts.

I made a literal server control and called it from inside an update panel. All the control does is build the java script and uses ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Control, Type, String, S...
I'm writing the RenderContents() method of my ASP.NET server control. The method uses an HtmlTextWriter object to render the output content. For the control I'm writing, using the HtmlTextWriter's methods seems like it will require a lot of lines of code to open and close every tag and add every attribute to the stream. In the end I feel...

Hi, I'm currently working on a custom server control. Now I came to the end of developing it and everything runs smoothly. I now just checked that also localization works fine and discovered that the Visual Studio designer doesn't add the meta:resourcekey="buttonNameResource" to my control.
