I’m trying to create a user control that allows users to make something like the following:

  <uc1:MyControl id='controlThing' runat='server'>      <uc1:BoundColumn id='column1' Column='Name' runat='server' />     <uc1:CheckBoxBoundColumn id='column2' Column='Selector' runat='server' />     <uc1:BoundColumn id='column3' Column='Description' runat='server' />       ...etc     </uc1:MyControl>

There are only certain controls I would allow, in addition to the fact that you can have many of any type. I can picture this in XSD, but I’m not entirely sure for ASP.NET.

My ASP.NET voodoo is drawing a blank right now.. any thoughts?

  1. The PersistenceMode.InnerProperty is what you want.. Here are the MSDN docs. Doing something like this will get you what you want:

    [PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty)] public ListItem Items {    get; set; }

    and then you’ll be able to use it like this:

    <cc1:MyControl runat='server'>    <Items>        <asp:ListItem Text='foo' />    </Items> </cc1:MyControl>

    You can create your own custom classes to use in there as well.
