Font Properties and how to use them

[Pete Ehli]

Hello List,
I have a custom web control that during the render phase of the controls
life cycle I am rendering a table with one row and two columns. I have text
inside a column of this table and I want a user of my control to be able to
change the Font properties of this text. Below is the code I'm using to
change the FontInfo subproperties.

System.Web.UI.WebControls.Style st = new Style();

[DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content),
NotifyParentProperty(true)]
//,PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty)]
public FontInfo Font
{
get
{
return this.st.Font;
}
}

My control inherits from Control since it doesn't render any HTML (but a lot
of DHTML) except this simple table. I'm using the HtmlTextWriter's
writer.writeline method to render the table but how can I use my Font
subproperties to change my table text. The font properties are rendered via
the aspx page that contains my control as hyphen delimited Font-Names="Arial
Black" Font-Size="Medium" etc Is there an easy way to add these properties
to my table text in stead of having to write them like so...
"<Font Face=" + "'" + Font.Name + "'" + ">" + My Table Text + "</Font>"

Thanks in advance

I'm not following what this has to do with a Web Control Library. As a
control author I want to make it as easy as possible for a developer to add
my control to the (toolbox i..e dll) drag and drop it onto a form and then
change some properties and run the page that contains the control. To change
the Font Face and Size of an ASP.NET command button you don't need a style
sheet. Sure you can use a CSS if you have multiple command buttons which is
a practice I'm familiar with. I want my control to act like a command button
for instance when a user of my control changes the font properties. Thanks.
