Output

All of the code that we will use to display information will be added to the Render.

You will notice that the Render method takes an HTMLTextWriter as a parameter, this output object can be used to write the appropriate information -

output.AddAttribute("border", "1")
output.AddStyleAttribute("border-color", "#000000")
output.RenderBeginTag("table")
output.Write(Text)
output.RenderEndTag()

That code will print out the following HTML -

<table border="1" style="border-color:#000000;">
Hello There
</table>

Let's go over these methods.

Title: Custom vs. User control BLUNDER – user control CAN be referenced in the code.

Implementing page can reference user control exactly the same way as custom control, otherwise there is really little use for them. And Yes, it does not create user control variable when you drag and drop it on the page, contrary to custom control. So leave your mouse alone and strike the damn keyboard and enjoy user controls in the code behind.
