Adding layout elements within custom control

[paul.hester@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I have a custom control that I use within forms that contains form
inputs and validator controls. At the moment I'm overriding the Render
method of my custom control and using the HtmlTextWriter object to
render the layout elements and the Control.RenderControl method in the
appropriate places to render the child controls in the right place.

I've run into a problem where literal content (i.e. <%= SomeVariable
%>) is not being rendered, and from what I can understand, it's because
of the way I'm rendering the child controls.

Could someone please advise me of the best way to add layout elements
around the child controls and with the literal content intact? Do I
need to override another method and add the extra layout elements to
the Controls collection?

Thanks,

Paul
