How do I maintain list of controls across posts for a WebControl?

[Ken Varn]

I have created a custom control that derives from WebControl. The custom
control assigns other controls dynamically to the Controls collection. Is
there anyway that I can recall the lost of controls that I assigned to my
custom control when I receive postback?

Keep track of what Controls are being added, and persist that data somewhere
(such as ViewState). Then, on PostBack, read from your "list" and re-add the
appropriate Controls.

I thought about doing it that way, but it seemed like a lot of redundant
data. I end up sending the same stuff twice to the client. Maybe it isn't
significant enough to worry about it. I was trying to keep my ViewState
data down to a minimum.

This seems like redundant data. If I put it in ViewState, I am duplicating
the data that is already on the screen. Can I somehow have the controls
post back with the form?
