well... i think this can be done using codeDOM. http://www.cswl.com/default.html Here There is a nice wPaper on "Interface Creation and Deployment at Runtime". please share your experience on codeDOM. Thanks, aB:rolleyes:

Using "Reflection" might be an option.

why are you using Loadcontrol method? This is not a good sense. Just put the definition for this control like other controls. for ex: ASPX ==== <%@ Register TagPrefix="Mycomp" TagName="ctl" Src="MYCTR.ascx" %> ... "MyComp:Ctl id="MYT" runat="server" /> CodeBehind =========== protected ctl MYT; in the control definition part. Now u can use MYT.DDlist.selecteditem.text Regards R.Arockiapathinathan

If you're stuck with MySQL, you need to just pass SQL. If you don't have transactions, you're in trouble. MySQL sucks. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

use ascw function for that

Definitely on the Load() InitializeComponent() is called from the constructor, and as the name says, it does construct the form, that means the form is not completely created. Load() is called after New(). I use to compare it to the OnInitDialog() handler in C++ Dialog based applications. so, create whatever you want in the New(), and initialize them on the Load() TOXCCT >>> GEII power [toxcct][VisualCalc]

Just set the DisplayMember property to be a property on the class you're adding, so that it knows where to look for the string to display. baste wrote: How to override a .net windows control's property that is overridable.

There is also MySQL wich is becoming widely used and Free.

You could use an obfuscator on the assembly to prevent people disassembling the IL. And you could also have an Auth(string passwd) method which has to be called first before any of the other exposed interfaces work properly.

Thanks Hussain, Even a simple usercontrol containg only one button(!) is not working for me, so i dont think there is probs in usercontrol. Here is code ! --------------------------------------- <%@ Register TagPrefix="work" TagName="bee" Src="CTRL/UserRegistration.ascx"%> ' i keep UserRegistration.ascx in a folder called ' CTRL <%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="home.aspx.vb" Inherits="Wee.WebForm1" %> ----------------------------------------- Thanks, shangar
