I have a question regarding this Try It Out. When I drag over my banner control to the About us design mark up it comes over like this <a href="~/Controls/Banner.ascx">~/Controls/Banner.ascx</a> and does not allow you to add the DisplayDirection="Horizontal". The Source code uses this code <Wrox:Banner ID="Banner1" runat="server" DisplayDirection="Horizontal" />

Thank you for your help.

This seems to contradict. It's either Design View or Markup View. not Design markup....

Dragging into Markup View won't as it'll create a standard <a> element. Instead, you need to drag the control to Design View.

Hope this helps,

Imar

Thank you Imar that cleared up the issue. I was in source view when I dragged the banner control over. Now, I will remember to drag the controls over from design view.

You're welcome.

Never really understood the behavior. It shouldn't be too hard for the IDE to detect that an .ascx was dragged in Markup View and then generate the appropriate code there.

Oh well.... ;)
