The web application I am creating gives the user the ability to change text
on a button (we store the button text in a database). I was wondering if it
is possible to have a background image for the buttons image source, and
then overlay text on it. I don't necessarily want to dynamically create
an image for every button (there are a lot of buttons and that would seem
slow and disk intensive). I just want to add text on top of it. I don't
mind doing it with DHTML if that's the only way, however I still need to
programatically enable/disable buttons on the screen based on security
permissions (so it must be a server control).

Any article links or code samples would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Greg

If you're okay using a DHTML layer, why not just output the layer - or
not, based on your security settings?

I just wondered if there is a ".NET Way" to do this or if I have to do some
custom client coding.

Sure, you could use a panel control. Set it's background
(mypanel.BackImageURL) to be your button image, put your text (using a
label control) on top of that (inside the panel) and then manipulate the
visible property of the panel (mypanel.Visible=True/False) based on your
security settings.
