Creating an Atlas control is not very well described anywhere, centralize documentation please!
So my task is to submit an Atlas control, sorry Microsoft Ajax control to Microsoft, I stated writing it tonight and looking for a good documentation how to do it. Well love how many resources are around, but and there is a but of course, I got all confused with the names used. So an extender extends a control, and you can create an extender of any control like a TextBox, but if you try to inherit the extender and add more functionality you’ll have to Google or read some blogs. Try to find the information on http://atlas.asp.net.
Hate doing that in my blog as in the morning I am expecting a few emails with links to the information I was looking for, and the links will be pointing to http://atlas.asp,net. Well, maybe I was lazy tonight and that’s what I was hoping for.
So I want to create a control, that wraps many controls, a TextBox, a Checkbox, a few extenders and lots of javascript. So normally I would create the control using CompositeControl and inherit from it to create a few controls. I dare you to try that!!
Best places I found for information Scott Guthie of course and the best information to create controls at nikhilk.net the father of the Javascript compiler. Use that tool, will save you lots of debugging javascript.
In resume, I’ll wait for THE email tomorrow morning to finished my control J
