<table border="0">. Why?

[Omid]

Hi all,

I have a control derived from WebControls.Table, but the output result
always is "<table border="0">". How can I change the border of my derived
control?

Thanks

Your inherited class also inherits Border-Width property as well all the
others that Table class defines. So all you have to do is to set its
Properties in the control tag.

But If you intend to do anything more "complex" you could make a your own
custom control (derived from WebControl/Control (depends on the
functionality you wish to get) that can be even templated and/or data-bound.

Hi Robert,
Thanks for your reply.
My inherited class is defined like this:

Public Class Test
Inherits System.Web.UI.WebControls.Table

So, where exactly I have to set the properties?

If you want to have some default value it's best to set it in the
constructor, if not just write like this (on the ASPX page that displays
your inherited control):

<someTagPrefix:yourControlsTagName id="whateverItIs" runat="server"
Border-Width="1px" Border-Style="solid" Border-Color="#00000" />

that's how you can set properties on page and would reflect on setting your
control's inherited properties.
