How can I create a control that renders a <div></div> but contains for
example a gridview that I can edit its properties on design mode?

Thanks,

Victor

Hi Victor,

Glad to see you again, how are you doing?

Regarding on the creating a custom control contains GridView(with
design-time support) question, based on my experience, it would be
difficult to do through defining a new custom web server control and make
GridView as a nested child control. This is because in such case, we'll
need to do the design-time work ourself for the custom control.

So far what I can get is define a custom web control which inherit the
built-in GridView control and override the "RenderControl" method to add
some customized wrapper html elements. e.g.

[ToolboxData("<{0}ivGridView runat=server></{0}ivGridView>")]
public class DivGridView : GridView
{
public override void RenderControl(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{

writer.RenderBeginTag("div");
writer.AddAttribute(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Id, "divGrid");
writer.AddStyleAttribute(HtmlTextWriterStyle.BackgroundColor,
"yellow");


base.RenderControl(writer);
writer.RenderEndTag();
}
}
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Does this help for your scenario?

I'm doing very good, thanks for asking, how are you?

I'll try that but I think I'll have to do some designers or something to
support what I'm envisioning.

Thanks,

Victor

I figured it out in a different way, simpler, I'm using a datarepeater with
a gridview inside and I created a class that inherits the gridview so that I
can capture the parent current key and pass it on to the gridview and filter
the gridview based on that. This way I can use the existing designers and
everything to customize my components in design mode.

Thanks,

Victor
