I'm still wishing more of these tutorials would feature some C#! I know I can transcribe it to C#, but...it would be nice!

I'm not much of an author and the way the article shows how to do it isn't the way I create my custom server controls, but if you are interested I can post some samples of the controls I have created (examples below) written in both C# and VB.

Example Controls:

1. Custom TextBox- features built-in RequiredField Validator and CustomField Validator controls, also contains a built-in spell checker, but that is based on having the actual spell checking software.

2. Custom Number Textbox - features built-in validation for certain numeric types (Integer, Positive Integer, Number (allowing decimals)), also contains RequiredField Validator control.

3. Custom Email Textbox - features built-in RegularExpression validator control to validate an email address, also contains a RequiredField Validator control.

4. DatePicker controls - renders as a textbox with a calendar image, when image is clicked another application (the calendar) is loaded into the window to allow the user to select a date, the selected date is then passed back to the parent page and the calendar window is closed. It also contains a built-in RequiredField Validator control.

5. Custom Image Button - features ability to set the baseImage and an optional rollover image, also contains a confirmation message property (javascript confirm method).

I have various other controls, but most are specific to a certain (company) need.

If there is a particular type of custom control you are needing tell me what it is and I'll see if I can create it for you.
