templated control default

[Amit Patel]

Hello,
I've created a templated control in C#, and I am trying to
have default values for templates if the user of the
control does not specify. For example, if the aspx code
should look like:

<custom:myControl runat="server" id="control1">
<aHeader>a non-default Header</aHeader>
</custom:myControl>

How can i have a default <aHeader> if the user does not
specify it? Is there any way I could have a separate
template file with the default values?

i.e.:
<file>
<aHeader>this is the defined default header</aHeader>
</file>

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Your aHeader property is of type ITemplate. All you have to do is set it to
your default if you find it to be null at the time you go to render it. You
can do this with the LoadTemplate method:

if (aHeader == null)
{
aHeader = LoadTemplate("default.ascx");
}
