Subject: Can I Use HTML Text Writer i a Custom Control to Render the
<head>
Section?
Date: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 11:38 AM
I would like to create a custom control that generates everything that
will be in the <head> </head> section.

This would allow me to make changes on all pages withing a site in one
location.

But can I do so since the control would not be withing a <form> tag in
the aspx page?

Can I do like so?:

<%@ Page language="c#" Codebehind="contests.aspx.cs"
AutoEventWireup="false"
Inherits="MZ.contests" %>
<%@Register TagPrefix="mz" Tagname="HeadSection"
Src="mzControls/HeadSection.ascx" %>
<mz:HeadSection runat="server" />

<body>
.
.
.
.
</body>
And in the custom control:

objTextWriter.RenderBeginTag( "Head" ); objTextWriter.RenderBeginTag(
"Title" );objTextWriter.Write( "Title");objTextWriter.RenderEndTag();
objTextWriter.RenderBeginTag( "meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
);objTextWriter.RenderEndTag();
objTextWriter.RenderBeginTag( "LINK
href="/common/css/style***.css"
type="text/css" rel="style***");objTextWriter.RenderEndTag();
objTextWriter.RenderBeginTag( "script language="JavaScript"
src="common/js/global.js"
type="text/JavaScript" );objTextWriter.RenderEndTag();
objTextWriter.RenderEndTag();

NOTICE, I am also trying to render a meta tag, a link tag, and a
script tag

Thanks in advance for any help (    Peter   :o)      )

You're already using a user-control so, unless you really want/need to programmatically render those tags, I would just put the HTML in the ascx file.
