I am trying to create my own server control "Tab"

So i have following classes

---------------------------------------------

public class TabsView : WebControl, INamingContainer
{
private TabPageCollection _tabs;
.....
}

public class TabPageCollection : ControlCollection
{...}

public class TabPage : WebControl, INamingContainer
{...}
---------------------------------------
Use

<cc1:TabsView ID="TabsView1" runat="server" >
<cc1:TabPage runat="server" ID="t1" TabName="T1">
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Click Me"
OnClick="Serverclick" />
</cc1:TabPage>
<cc1:TabPage runat="server" ID="t2" TabName="T2">
Test 

</cc1:TabPage>
</cc1:TabsView>
-------------------------------------------

Everything renders fine.
The problem i have with Postback. For whatever reason when i click Button2
POST happens but Serverclick is not called. Nor Textbox2 retains it value.

why is that?

thanks
George.

Problem solved.
Do not use ControlCollection. It does not register controls with the page.
Write your own collection that will add controls to the Controls collection
when control is added by ASP.NET parser.
