Using ITemplate as property of a custom control

[yawarady]

Hi,

I am using ITemplate as property of a custom control in order to get
the following struct:

<test:mycontrol>
<myTemplate>
<asp:TextBox..........
</myTemplate>
</test:mycontrol>

The only thing that I want to add now is a property to the myTemplate
tag, in order to be able to set something like:
<myTemplate Text="testing">

Is there any way to accomplish this change?

Thanks

You would probably have to create a class that implements ITemplate and
create a property there. I am guessing you want the property to be linked
with the content inside of the template? That may be more difficult depending
upon what that content can actually be changed to by the user.

Hi,

I tried to create a class that implements ITemplate and create the
property there but I'm getting this annoying error that I can't
overcome:
Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type
'System.Web.UI.CompiledTemplateBuilder' to
'Controls.myTemplate' c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Builder\Default.aspx 12
As for you question, the content of the template should be any type of
one or more controls.

Thanks.

If you would post some code we may be able to help you out. A simple search
for implementing ITemplate returned this page
(http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=4867) that has an example you could
use.
