A few questions, hopefully I can get some answered:

1. Where do the server side control people hang out?  Links? Sites? 
Newsgroups? 

2. I?ve built a control but I?m having problems rendering it in design 
mode (Visual Studio) 
? it shows up as a transparent box.  I want to put SOMETHING there to 
show the user what it is. It is a template based control ? that might 
make a difference.  Chapter 18 of ASP.NET Professional doesn't show how 
to do this.

3. I overrode the ?Height? property of this control, now I can?t resize 
the thing in design mode ? any ideas? 

4. Chapter 18 of ASP.NET Professional covers creating a template 
databound control (to a DataSet), and I have one of those up and working, 
thanks to the book. What the book doesn't show is how to bind it to a 
DataReader.  When I try to bind to a DataReader I get a class exception 
error because my server control class uses a Collection to iterate 
through the result data.  The repeaters and such bind to a DataReader, 
how do I do this?

5. Is there more documentation on server side controls somewhere?

I am not dissing the book, it has helped me a lot and I recommend it.
I just need MORE information on Server Controls!

Any help would be appreciated!
