  1. POClient ID When Overriding Render Method
    text
    copied!<p>I'm using a custom web control where the Render method was overriden.</p> <p>My problem is that the ID of the rendered control does not include IDs the master pages and user controls where the control is located.</p> <p>Meaning that if my render method includes the following:</p> <pre><code>writer.AddAttribute(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Id, ClientID); writer.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.Div); writer.RenderEndTag(); </code></pre> <p>And it is used as follows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;somePrefix:MyWebControl ID="WebControl1" runat="server" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>Then the control will be rendered as:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div id="WebControl1"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>While I want something like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div id="ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ContentPlaceHolderMain_WebControl1"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>(which is what would be generated if I put up a div with the ID WebControl1 and runat="server")</p> <p>What can I do to achieve that?</p> <p><strong>Edit</strong></p> <p>I was wrong regarding when this is happening. When I place the control directly in the page, the id is fine (asp.net generated id).</p> <p>However, the problem occurs when MyControl is rendered from another web controls, which holds a collection of my controls.</p> <p>In the container control the RenderControl method is overriden as follows:</p> <pre><code>foreach (Control control in MyControls) { divControls.Controls.Add(control); } divControls.RenderControl(writer) </code></pre>
