User Control and Controls IDs problem

[Guest]

I have a user control with name FoldersManager in the user control i have a
datagrid to view items retrieved from XML file

in ItemDataBound i did

if(e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Header)
{
e.Item.Cells[0].Text = "<input onclick='refresh(this);' type=checkbox
id=allmsg>";
}

when I run the page containing the user control i view HTML source in found
the
control like this:

<input id="oFoldersManager_dgFoldersInfo__ctl9_delmsg" type="checkbox"
name="oFoldersManager:dgFoldersInfo:_ctl9:delmsg" />

oFoldersManager : my user control object
dgFoldersInfo : DataGrid In the user control.

why the ID has this form though i provided the ID of control in ItemDataBoud.

It's been changed by the parent container (DataGridItem) to prevent
the ID from conflicting with other control ID's on the page. My
article here touches on this a bit:

re:

Why would you want/need to do that ?

Provide some inkling of a good reason to do that,
and I'll consider researching your need.
