Hi,

I have implemented a templated control like described in the MSDN and
the Quick Start tutorial. In my aspx page, the control is used like this:

<syynx:SelectTableControl id="test" runat="server">
   <Item>blabla <%# Container.Pos %><br></Item>
</syynx:SelectTableControl>

Below you can see the implementation of the templated control and the
container item. If the page is displayed, I only get five times 'blabla
<br>', so the property Pos seems to be ignored.

If I rename Pos to an invalid name I get an error. If I set a breakpoint
into the get method of Pos, I can see that the property is never accessed!?

Am I missing something? Any hint would be very appreciated!

regards,
Achim





[ParseChildren(true)]
public class SelectTableControl : Control, INamingContainer
{
     private ITemplate item_;

[PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty),TemplateContainer(typeof(ItemContainer))]

     public ITemplate Item {
         get { return item_; }
         set { item_ = value; }
     }

     private Control itemContainer;

     public override void DataBind()
     {
         EnsureChildControls();
         base.DataBind();
     }

     protected override void CreateChildControls ()
     {
         if (Item != null)
         {
             for (int i=0 ; i < 5 ; ++i)
             {
                 itemContainer = new ItemContainer(this,i);
                 Item.InstantiateIn(itemContainer);
                 Controls.Add(itemContainer);
             }
         }
         else
         {
             Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("no template given"));
         }
     }
}

public class ItemContainer : Control, INamingContainer {
     private int pos_;

     public string Pos
     {
         get { return pos_.ToString(); }
         set { pos_ = int.Parse(value); }
     }

     public ItemContainer(Control parent, int pos)
     {
         pos_ = pos;
     }
}

Has anyone found a solution for this? I am having the same issue.

Thank you
