Well I don't really know what to tell you. This is more of a training exercise and is more related to standard ASP.NET development versus SF. Without doing this for you, I cannot give you a straight answer to your problem. Right now I am totally swamped and I don't have to time to look at custom controls and figure out the areas where it is failing...this is more a training and consulting type of question. We have a lot of people out of the office and on vacation plus we are trying to hit deadlines...so I know that we generally would just ask you to post a sample and we would look at this but since this is really not SF related, I just don't have the additional time to look at this right now.You are still welcome to post a sample of your problem, and when we do have some extra time to look at this (will not be for a week or two) then we will try and take a look to see where your issue might be.
