Is there a way that I can have a server control
MyControl<T>
so that I can register and use it in an aspx page like so
<mc:MyControl<ThingForControlToUse> ID="instanceOfMyControl" runat="server"
Obviously the designer doesn’t like this, are there any cool ways round it other than creating a non generic wrapper with a type parameter?
Generic Tag Names are not possible in ASP.NET, please refer to this article: Generic Controls
You are on the right track in thinking that you will need to create a wrapper with a TYPE parameter.
