Custom Server Control Question 1

[culshaja]

Hi,

does anyone know how to make a section of output from a custom server control render only once regardless of how many controls of that type are on the form?

Well, you could either set up a property for the control and declaratively or programatically set it to something (presumably only once) or...

You could have each of them work with the viewstate bag. Where each one would try to set viewstate.item("oneDone&quot = 1 or something like that, and then each subsequent one that loaded would know if one had already been loaded, and could modify its behavior.
