Hi,



Does anyone know what do these 2 classes do, or what are they made for.



From what I understood, they should be the base classes for some group

of classes that are automatically assigned some extra feature.



The problem: lack of documentation. in the microsoft site, the only

documentation is the one already existing in the MSDN collection, so

nothing new here; on the rest of the internet I could not find anything

else.



did any of you folks had ever built his/her own web control? including

viewstate serialization? including postback handling? including server

event raising? including client-side event wire-up???



tghanks in advance,

Ziv.

For building your own controls. four places well worth looking are:



- MSDN. Always start here, or www.dotnet247.com which is cool too.

- www.swarren.net (Susan Warren works for Microsoft). There are documents

and presentations there on building your own web controls.

- asplists.com - they have lists specifically devoted to control creation.

http://www.asplists.com/asplists/aspngevery.asp. For example they have one

on WebControls, one on C# control creation, one on VB.NET control creation,

as well as lists on caching, etc. The C# control list has been very active

the last week talking about getting controls working in Visual Studio .NET

at design-time - pretty cool stuff.

- my site, ASPNETUI, which is going live very soon.... try www.aspnetui.com

in one week's time. It's a site devoted to building user interfaces and

controls, it focuses on that exclusively and does not cover ADO, XML, web

services, or anything else - *just UI issues*. It will launch with links to

all the best articles I've found over the last few months.
