An example for creating a web custom control with full design view.

[Houda Tahbaz]

Hi,
I know I should use the ControlDesigner class if I want to implement design
mode behavior for a composition based control. However, do you know any
online examples which I could start with quickly?

Thanks,
Houda Tahbaz

Houda, check out this online sample chapter, titled "User Controls and
Custom Server Controls," from the book "ASP.NET in a Nutshell":
http://tinyurl.com/4b38c

This has an example of a complete custom server control, along with a
Designer and some explanation.

If you are after just code, you can download my open-source server
controls, skmMenu [http://skmMenu.com] and RssFeed
[http://scottonwriting.net/sowBlog/RssFeed.htm], both of which have
Designers whose code you can inspect and pick apart.

Happy Programming!
