  ControlBuilder and Custom Control Child Properties

  Feb 23, 2012 11:38 AM|LINK

  Hi,

  I am trying to build a custom control from its string representation.

  The full XML for the control would be something like:

  <canvas:Canvas runat="server">

  <Frames>

   <canvas:LineFrame LineColor="Blue" SourcePoint="10,10" TargetPoint="100,100" />

      <canvas:LineFrame LineColor="Red" SourcePoint="100,100" TargetPoint="100,150" />

  </Frames>
  

  </canvas:Canvas>

  I am creating a ControlBuilder like this:

  ControlBuilder cb = new MyControlBuilder();
  cb.Init(null, null, typeof(Canvas), "canvas", "xxx", new Hashtable());
  cb.SetTagInnerText(content);
  cb.CloseControl();
  Canvas canvas = cb.BuildObject() as Canvas;

  content has all markup from <Frames> to </Frames>, including.

  It works fine, except that the Frames property is not set.

  What can I do? Must I create a custom ControlBuilder?

  Thanks!

  Are you asking question about Silverlight？If so，I strongly suggest you directly ask the question here：

  Hello,

  No... and I can't understand what this has to do with Silverlight, this is clearly an ASP.NET question (does Silverlight use ControlBuilders?).

  No ideas? I thought this forum was for advanced questions... :-(

  Thanks,

  Your codes are related to silverlight, and you are using WPF to create controls with that... Aren't you???

  Hi, TimoYang!

  My code is not WPF or Silverlight (not XAML, that is)! I mentioned explicitly that it is XML, if it was XAML, I would have said so. Sorry if I didn't make that clear, however, I have no reference to XAML, WPF or Silverlight anywhere in my question.

  This is an ASP.NET forum, not a Silverlight, so you must assume that questions placed here relate to ASP.NET. Does WPF/Silverlight use ControlBuilders? I don't know, never used it, but since ASP.NET does, and since ASP.NET also uses XML for the markup... what about runat="server"? Why not go for the simple answer - this is an ASP.NET question! :-)

  I assume nobody knows the answer, that's OK, I will try to investigate some more.

  Thanks!
