Best Practices: Web Controls

<i><b>Originally posted by : Jeff Young</b></i><br />Has anyone thought about a Best Practice when considering web controls that need to output images? For instance, a compound control with textbox and a graphic next to it?<br /><br />The question here is, does one hard-code the location of the graphic within the compound control or should the control provide support for the page developer to tell it where it can find the directory that the image is to be stored in (by setting a property on the control at compile time, for instance)? Hard-coding hardly seems like a good idea.<br /><br />Thoughts?<br />
