Message: [QUOTE="james.beauchamp, post: 2939553"] Hi I'm trying to create a control with multiple regions that can be edited - maybe as templates I guess. I've seen a control that was done by Scott Mitchell which has rounded corners surrounding the control - here is a link to the page [URL]http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/081104-1.aspx[/URL]) and this essentially has one editable region that will then be surrounded by the borders. What I'm trying to achieve is a control with 2 or more areas that may be templates (or not) but allow me to put the control on the page and then include other elements. The key things I want to achieve are that I can do similar to the following <xxx:MyContainer id="MyControl1" runat="server> <area1>Some stuff including controls</area1> <area2>Some more stuff including controls eg <asp:TextBox id="TextBox1 etc etc></asp:TextBox></area2> </xxx:MyContainer> What I then want is that when this displays something like a table will surround the 2 areas -- like a regular Html table with borders etc - I cant really upload an image to best describe this but hopefully you can get the idea. Then in the page that has the MyContainer control I can directly refer to the control TextBox1 rather than having to do something like MyControl1.FindControl("TextBox1"). I know this is sort of possible using ParseChildren and PersistChildren and I have played with template controls but what happens is the templates are display away from the rest of the elements (Html table like stuff) I want to include. If I ignore the Parse and Persist children stuff it works BUT I cant get direct access to the control and have to resort to FindControl to get to the control Any ideas? James Beauchamp [/QUOTE]
