Building composite Control with Image + DDL

mehdi_tn · April 12th, 2006, 09:53 AM

Hi Everybody and thanks for this forum,

I'm building a composite control that contains an Image and a dropdownlist. The image is independent from the list values. All I want to do is to bind my drop down list to a datasource and affect aa picture to my image Control, I read many articles and I think my control should extend the CompositeDataBoundControl class (maybe I'm wrong),

I'm blocked on overriding this method :

Code:

protected override int  CreateChildControls(System.Collections.IEnumerable dataSource, bool dataBinding)

My control is not shown on my page and I didnt succed to bind my list to a datasource :(

I really need help thanks in advance

Why don't have a UserControl with an Image and a DropDownList. You can set DataSource with properties, and image the same way
