[Mono-dev] UserControl type cast issue

[Rafael Teixeira]

Did you put the directive on the ascx, to have it inherit from your
class MyControl?
If not the created control descend from Control and can't be cast to a
MyControl.

Remember that the source for a new class is created from the xml/html
in the ascx/aspx file in ASP.NET 1.x. That class is compiled and is an
instance of it that is running in your page. If you don't instruct the
parser to generate a source with the right inheritance it doesn't have
a way to know it.

As I'm currently working a lot with Java and even fixing Java VMs
(JamVM/Kaffe) and GNU Classpath code, I think I may partly borrow the
title (Javaman) from my friend Bruno Souza and become the
MonoNJavaMan. Yeah, I may currently be crazier than usual...
