How to persist data in child controls?

Hi,

I've made a composite (web) control consisting a textbox, a button and
validator. These are all exposed as directly as class properties, which =
make
it possible to expand them to show all their properties in the =
Properties
pane when selecting the composite control on the page designer. While
expanded I can change the child controls properties as any other =
property.
However, only properties directly belonging to the composite control =
are
persisted - not the properties of the child control.=20

I've unsuccessfully tried the PersistChildren attribute. I've also =
tried to
use a TypeConverter. The property did get persisted if I converted the =
class
into a string, but then I only could enter a string in the Properties =
pane.
I read an article where they used PersistInfo, but it has been removed =
from
Beta 2. I think InstanceDescriptor coud be used instead, but I don't =
know
how.

All suggestions appreciated,

Try adding the following to your attributes to your complex properties:

[
=20
DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content)
,
NotifyParentProperty(true)
]

hth,
Susan

Thanx Susan,

I finally got it working. It took me some time to figure out how to use
those attributes. It worked as desired after I put the
DesignerSerializationVisibility attribute on the control property and =
the
NotifyParentProperty on the individual properties of the complex type.=20
