Server Control Within Server Control

[Guest]

I'm developing a server control that in turns contains another server control
(i.e. Label). I instantiate the label and expose the entire Label through a
property.


Imports System
Imports System.Web
Imports System.Web.UI

Public Class Class1
Inherits Control

Dim _label As New WebControls.Label
Public Property L() As WebControls.Label
Get
Return _label
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As WebControls.Label)
_label = Value
End Set
End Property

Dim _t As String
Public Property T() As String
Get
Return _t
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
_t = Value
End Set
End Property
End Class

I then add this control to the toolbar and drag it to an aspx page. As you
can see in the picture I have my two properties "L" (the label with the +
sign for all the properties of the label) and the "T" (string)

If I set the "T" property I will get this in the html:
<cc2:Class1 id="Class11" runat="server" T="Hello World"></cc2:Class1>
Which is the reason why it gets persisted when I close and open the webform.
But if I expand the L property and set any of the properties of the label
nothing changes in the html and when I close and open the webform all the
properties from the Label get blanked out.

If I go to the HTML and manually add the property:

<cc2:Class1 id="Class11" runat="server" T="Hello World"
L-CssClass="Healy"></cc2:Class1> the changes will persist.

Basically, I need a way that when the properties of the label get changed in
the property pane they will get written to the html so they can get persisted
