Hello -

It seems to me, I read somewhere that you can inherit and customize an asp control, such as a datagrid, to add functionality, etc.

I would like to extend the asp:dropdownlist control, because I just want to add some common database code to it. Is there a way to do this?

When I try to
Inherits System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList

it gives me an error saying that the control has to inherit from UserClass instead.

Any suggestions?

-Dave

This is a control I put together last night written in C# that inherits
from the DropDownList. VB should work the same way.
