Hello Mark,

I try to create our own custom controls and I would like to make it the most
generic you can have. We create a lot of controls to use in web pages.
It's a kind of central project used in all our websites.
Anyway, we thought a lot over that and the best way for us was to extend
TextBox class and so on... So we took this way.

I can't imagine you cannot add some attributes to an object. If I modify
Text attribute, I can get its value, why can't I do that with another
property? I heard about custom attributes. I defined my own attribute and
try to use it in my class. I can change the value within javascript. But
do you know how to get the value server-side?

Can you give me a good tutorial with custom attributes and confirm me I can
use them to solve my problem?

Thank you in advance,
Fabien.

Why?

You can...

The Text attribute already exists for the TextBox control. I think the
problem is that you are modifying the TextBox control far too late in the
page lifecycle. Generally speaking, custom controls need to be created no
later than Page_Init...

Create a UserControl which contains a TextBox and a HiddenField, and your
problems will disappear...
