Hi

Is it possible for the databound Templated Control to display the label text in Design Mode. The changes made in the Properties window of Visual Studio show at runtime, but I see no label values at design time. It seems like the lack of a WSYWIG experience would be unsatisfying to a page developer. It makes since that it does not show since the call to databind has not been made. But it is showing in the Properties window.

Thanks for your time.

I felt the same way; I'll post another reply later as I don't have access to my sourcecode at my current location, but I recall my fix for it was rather than to instantiate the control within each template in the CreateContainerChildControls() method, I would do so within the constructor for the class. But don't quote me on that--I'll follow up later.

I believe the issue revolves around the point in time the control(s) for the template are instantiated. Design time changes appear to be ignored if their not instantiated in the proper place.
