How can I create a control that renders a <div></div> but contains for 
example a gridview that I can edit its properties on design mode?

Thanks,

Victor

Hi Victor,

Glad to see you again, how are you doing?

Regarding on the creating a custom control contains GridView(with 
design-time support) question, based on my experience, it would be 
difficult to do through defining a new custom web server control and make 
GridView as a nested child control. This is because in such case, we'll 
need to do the design-time work ourself for the custom control.  

So far what I can get is define a custom web control which inherit the 
built-in GridView control and override the "RenderControl" method to add 
some customized wrapper html elements. e.g.



>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    [ToolboxData("<{0}:DivGridView runat=server></{0}:DivGridView>")]
    public class DivGridView : GridView
    {
        public override void RenderControl(HtmlTextWriter writer)
        {
          
            writer.RenderBeginTag("div");
            writer.AddAttribute(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Id, "divGrid");
            writer.AddStyleAttribute(HtmlTextWriterStyle.BackgroundColor, 
"yellow");
          

            base.RenderControl(writer);
            writer.RenderEndTag();
        }
    }
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Does this help for your scenario?

I'm doing very good, thanks for asking, how are you?

I'll try that but I think I'll have to do some designers or something to 
support what I'm envisioning.

Thanks,

Victor

I figured it out in a different way, simpler, I'm using a datarepeater with 
a gridview inside and I created a class that inherits the gridview so that I 
can capture the parent current key and pass it on to the gridview and filter 
the gridview based on that. This way I can use the existing designers and 
everything to customize my components in design mode.

Thanks,

Victor
