Is it possible to have multiple <template> areas defined in a custom control in asp.net?

I currently have:

<uc:MyControl ...>
<Template>
</Template>
</uc:Mycontrol>

I would like

<uc:MyControl ...>
<FishBiscuit>
html
</FishBiscuit>
<FishBi开发者_Python百科scuit>
html
</FishBiscuit>
<FishBiscuit>
html
</FishBiscuit>
<FishBiscuit>
html
</FishBiscuit>
.
.
.

However I'm not sure if it's possible, or how to wire it up if it is. Any ideas?

It really seems impossible with the approach you choose. The next markup

<uc:MyControl runat="server">
    <FishBiscuit>
        html1
    </FishBiscuit>
    <FishBiscuit>
        html2
    </FishBiscuit>
</uc:MyControl>

should instanciate only the last template (html2 value) if you use public ITemplate FishBiscuit property of your custom control. So, there are two approaches:

• to use different properties as Brian said,

• or use a control like MultiView for your purposes.

See, the markup you posted above could be transformed to:

<asp:MultiView runat="server">
    <asp:View runat="server">
        html
    </asp:View>
    <asp:View runat="server">
        html
    </asp:View>
    <asp:View runat="server">
        html
    </asp:View>
    <asp:View runat="server">
        html
    </asp:View>
</asp:MultiView>

which is closer to the markup proposed by you.

They have to be different properties:

[
PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty),
TemplateInstance(TemplateInstance.Single)
]
public ITemplate FishBiscuit { get; set; }

[
PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty),
TemplateInstance(TemplateInstance.Single)
]
public ITemplate FishBiscuit2 { get; set; }

Each template defined above translates to a property, so it has to have a matching property name.

HTH.
