An article on creating controls for ASP.NET

Introduction

This control tries to ease the work of having to each time put a text box and then near the text box a label for description. This control contains both controls and can output this code as:

  1. simple : label near textbox
  2. table : output tr, td as necessary for outputting in a table

Using the code

The application is easy to use . Just compile the source, add to toolbox, drag on Web Form - and specify the template to use. Please pay attention to the TemplateToUse property : this property decides which of the forms the control is displayed at. Also, for the moment, you must call DataBind method in order to see the caption and the text ( this I think that I will solve in the next version ...)

Points of Interest

It is interesting only how the control displays on the Web Form on IDE. For this, please look at the code in the DisplayLabelTextDesigner

History

  • First version.

Future Improvements

  • Add support for CSSClass for table, tr and td , textboxes and label.
  • Do not need to call DataBind
  • Add rows property for multiline textboxes
  • Add comments ( ;-) )
  • Read about the strong name and see what features has for controls.
