Question

I could have sworn i have done this somewhere – im using 2.0 right now – was this something i found in a later version? IE: pass the content of a Literal in the constructor

I remember myself saying ‘huh, and all this time i created a new instance and then set the text property’ – or did I go to sleep drunk that night? And if not, WHY NOT!!!

Answer 1

Maybe LiteralControl?

this.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl('<b>hello there</b>')); 

Note it doesn’t maintain ViewState so it must be added on each request.
