Custom ASP.NET Container Control

Question

I\'ve been trying to create a custom control that works exactly like the Panel control except surrounded by a few divs and such to create a rounded box look. I haven\'t been

Answer 1

I looked at this question because I wanted to produce a 2 column layout panel. (not quite but its a much simpler example of what I needed. I'm sharing the solution that I wound up using:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

namespace Syn.Test
{
    [DefaultProperty("Text")]
    [ToolboxData("<{0}:MultiPanel runat=server>")]
    [ParseChildren(true)]
    [PersistChildren(false)]
    public class MultiPanel : WebControl, INamingContainer
    {
        public ContentContainer LeftContent { get; set; }

        public ContentContainer RightContent { get; set; }

        protected override void CreateChildControls()
        {
            base.CreateChildControls();
        }

        protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter output)
        {
            output.AddStyleAttribute("width", "600px");
            output.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.Div);

            output.AddStyleAttribute("float", "left");
            output.AddStyleAttribute("width", "280px");
            output.AddStyleAttribute("padding", "10px");
            output.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.Div);
            LeftContent.RenderControl(output);
            output.RenderEndTag();

            output.AddStyleAttribute("float", "left");
            output.AddStyleAttribute("width", "280px");
            output.AddStyleAttribute("padding", "10px");
            output.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.Div);
            RightContent.RenderControl(output);
            output.RenderEndTag();

            output.RenderEndTag();
         }
    }

    [ParseChildren(false)]
    public class ContentContainer : Control, INamingContainer
    {
    }
}

The issue I still have is the intellisense does't work for in this scenario, it won't suggest the Left and Right Content tags.
