This has been asked repeatedly many times and no one has been able to answer
it. Now, I have the problem too..... why are CompositeControls so hard to
make show up in the Toolbox? Why do they show up sometimes and then
disappear? What's magic combination of tricks need to happen in order for
this to work.
Why is this so hard? Was this tested? Who is in charge of this "feature" in
ASP.NET?
No, there is nothing wrong with the control. The attribitutes
ToolboxItemAttribute and ToolboxData have been added. The control compiles
with no errors. It can be used in pages by (handtyping the tags).
Also, the bigger question.... why is the Designer in ASP.NET so inept? So
featureless? So crappy? And so stupid? Whose idea was it to spend time on
(the rather useless and featureless) Master Pages feature instead of making
Custom Controls truly a worthwhile enterprise.... like an easy to create
UserControl that can act as a Panel (wouldn't that render MasterPages
obsolete?)
