Upgrade effects on EnsureID() method

[ochjings1]

Following upgrade to 2005 beta 2, code that was previously fine is now producing an error:

Label errorLabel = new Label();
errorLabel.EnsureID();

"-> System.Web.UI.Control.EnsureID() is inaccessible due to its protection level"


Firstly - what is the change, I can't seem to find documentation, and also - is there ever a real need to use this method? Entering controls dynamically into a table. For now, if a control fails to build I insert an errorLabel. More than one in a table - should they have the EnsureID method called?

Thanks for your help,
Steve

It seemed to make a lot of sense - x controls in the same container, prevent ID clashes by creating a unique one, but is seems to have been discontinued, or erased... or worse. Is there a standard method of avoiding these clashes without EnsureID?
