Web Custom Control using a property displaying current form text boxesI'm trying to add a property to a Web Custom Control that behaves just like
the ControlToValidate string property on the built in .net valuators. I basically want the list to show the various different textboxes on the current web form. I've searched, and searched, and can not find an answer. A link, or any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Just a thought :
Implement a custom editor (look in MSDN for UITypeEditor) and attach it to to the Property with the EditorAttribute. Override EditValue in your Editor : public virtual object EditValue(ITypeDescriptorContext context, IServiceProvider provider, object value); The Instance Property of the context should point to your control : MyControl ctrl = (MyControl) context.Instance; With a reference to the control you should be able to iterate through the controls in your page : foreach (Control pageControl in ctrl.Page.Controls) .....

I'll head down this path.

I had a fast look with Reflector (http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/) at the Validation controls. Microsoft didn't use an UITypeEditor for displaying the controls on the page, they use a custom TypeConverter. I recommend to get Reflector and have a look at the class "ValidatedControlConverter". I think, you can copy / paste most of the code from this class into your own TypeConverter and you're done....
