Custom web control problem

[Jim Buck]

I built a custom web control and can add it to the
toolbox. However when I drag the control onto a web form
niether the control tags nor the "register" directive get
created. My class looks like the following, does anyone
know what could be wrong. The custom control and the form
are in different assemblies.

[ToolboxItem(true),
DefaultProperty("Name"),
ToolboxBitmap(typeof
(MyControl), "ToolboxBitmaps.MyControl.bmp"),
ToolboxData("<{0}:MyControl runat=server></
{0}:MyControl>")]
public class MyControl : CustomControl
{

// Ommitted
}

I figured out the problem.

The default ToolboxItem type, which is used when you send
true to the ToolBoxItemAttribute constructor is the
ToolBoxItem. However since I am writing a web control I
needed to use WebControlToolboxItem.

Thanks

No. Thank YOU!

I was wondering why my ToolBoxData wasn't working! Now I know.

Where did you find this out? Maybe the answers to my other control mysteries
are there as well.
