asp.net composite controls

[Philip Townsend]

I have built a composite control containing a calendar, two
dropdownlists, and a button. Currently I have only the index of each
control as a means of formatting. What is the normal way of formatting
the layout of the controls in a composite control? Thanks!

First, there's no such thing as a composite control. Do you mean that you
have a user control?

Second, what do you mean by 'formatting'?

I have always thought there ARE composite controls. Yet, if an MVP speaks
up, I usually prick up my ears. So, to make sure, I checked and re-checked
Help in my VS/2003. This is what I've found:

A composite control is a web custom control made up of standard web
server controls. Call it what you will...

So does anyone have ANY feedback on this? (Mickey Williams? MVP?)

(web custom controls do exist...)
