Question

I got this code which I wish to incorporate templates into. Nothing fancy, just adding some content to a specific place in the control

public class SiteTitle : WebControl, INamingContainer
{
    public string Title { get; set; }

    protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
    {
        CreateSiteTitle(writer);
    }

    private void CreateSiteTitle(HtmlTextWriter writer)
    {
        writer.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.H3);
        writer.Write(this.Title);
        // RENDER THE HTML FROM THE TEMPLATE
        writer.RenderEndTag();
    }
}

I wish to use it like so:

<my:SiteTitle ID="SiteTitle1" runat="server" Title="Test Control">
    <RightContainer>
        <p>HTML</p>
    </RightContainer>
</my:SiteTitle>

I have tried messing with ITemplate and so, but I fail to do it. Can someone provide an example on which I can work on?

Thanks!
