Chapter 15. Creating User and Custom Controls for ASP.NET

ASP.NET comes with a rich array of pre-fabricated HTML and web server controls. These will meet most of your needs, but for demanding developers, ASP.NET features a mechanism through which you can create your own controls. Based on how they are created, they are differentiated as user controls or custom controls.

The first half of this chapter deals with understanding the concept, architecture, and the use of user controls, while the second half of the chapter explains the why, how, and when of custom controls.
