Additional Methods

AddAttribute

This method takes in the name of the attribute and the value of it. In the above example I passed in border for the name and 1 for the value.

AddStyleAttribute

This method takes in the name of the style property and the value of it. Using this method, it properly formats your style attribute without you having to mess around with it and probably get a syntax error along the way.

RenderBeginTag/RenderEndTag

These two methods start rendering and stop rendering the tag specified by RenderBeginTag. Using these methods take some adjustment, but in the end they present properly formatted code. They also allow you to make the code more dynamic (easier than having a lot of ' "something" & varname & "something" ') with ease.

Summary

This article has barely scratched the surface of custom controls, in future articles, I will show you more about advanced custom controls and other things that you can do with them.

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.
