insert message with overrides

[TJS]

I want to insert a message with an override if a condition exists but the
overrides does not kick in.
How do I invoke the overrides to display a message from my class code?

============Overrides code================
Protected Overrides Sub Render(writer As HtmlTextWriter)

if Application("idx") = true then
Dim vMessage As String = "message goes here"

'*** Render the page and retrieve into StringBuilder
Dim sb As New StringBuilder()
Dim hWriter As New HtmlTextWriter(New StringWriter(sb))
MyBase.Render(hWriter)

' *** store to a string
Dim PageResult As String = sb.ToString()
Dim At As Integer = PageResult.ToLower().LastIndexOf("")

If At > - 1 Then
PageResult = PageResult.Insert(At, vMessage)
End If

' *** Write it back to the server
writer.Write(PageResult)
end if

Return

End Sub 'Render

Hi

I assume the code that you have sent is of a custom control that you are trying to build

So as you know the custom controls gets bundled in to a separate Assembly and to use them you have to register the
in the page that you use it

So this assembly knows nothing of the HttpContext

Try doing out this

1> Include the namespace System.Web

2> When you want to access the Application variables use the following
HttpContext.Current.Application(VarName

i hope this should solve your problem

Let me know on this
