Override Render method in Label Control

[Jason Dean]

Hello,

I have a simple asp:label control that I want to write some complicated HTML
to. Currently I have this code and it works fine:

myLable.Text = "<p>this is my text</p>"

Bust as my HTML gets more complicated I want to be able to use the
HTMLTextWriter to write the HTML like so:

writer.Write (@"

<p>this is my text</p>
<p>this is more text</p>
<p>this is alot more text</p>

")

What is the best way to go about this?

Thx

you could create a new HtmlTextWriter wrapped around a stringwriter, to
build the string, or create a new control (my choice).

How exactly does this work? I've tried writing to a variable (ideal choice)
and can't seem to figure it out. Do you have any examples or links you
could send me?

Thanks soooooo much!

the control is simple, define it in the page behind, change the tag on the
aspx page, and you're done.

public class mylabel : Label
{
protected override Render(HtmlTextWriter output)
{
output.Write("whatever I want");
}
}
