Hi, and thanks for this forum

I'm trying to build a new control composed of an Image and
dropdownlis

First I succed to build the control extending from DataBoiundContro
this my fast code and it works perfectly

[ToolboxData("<{0}:Picturelis
runat=server></{0}:Picturelist>")
   public class Picturelist : DataBoundContro
   
       private Image _image
       private DropDownList _dropList
       private Literal lt

protected override void CreateChildControls(
       
           Controls.Clear()

           _image = new Image()
           _dropList = new DropDownList()
           lt = new Literal()

           lt.Text = "</br>"

           this.Controls.Add(_image)
           this.Controls.Add(lt)

           this.Controls.Add(_dropList)
           base.CreateChildControls()
           //return 0

       
     

// only my ddl is shown for the momen
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter output
       
           _dropList.RenderControl(output)
       

protected override voi
PerformDataBinding(System.Collections.IEnumerabl
dataSource
       
           base.PerformDataBinding(dataSource)

           if (dataSource != null
           
               List<String> l = ne
List<String>()

               foreach (object o in dataSource
               

                   l.Add(DataBinder.GetPropertyValue(o
"nom", null));
               
               _dropList.DataSource = l

               _dropList.DataBind()

           
       
   

As u see, in the render method I only show my ddl control, but know m
PictureList control must extend the CompositeDataboundContol so I ca
show both ddl and the image, I know that I have to override th
method

[code:1:b8f71b2038
protected override int
CreateChildControls(System.Collections.IEnumerable dataSource
bool dataBinding
[/code:1:b8f71b2038

but I didnt know how to use it for binding my ddl instead of usin
PerformDataBindin

Thanks in advanc
