i have sets of tags that i wanted to write in my html (specifying where it should be) but i couldnt find the right approach for this
atm i made a web control which serves as a place holder, then on my page i find (if its on a master page) the control and assign the content (in a property) while the control (placeholder) overides Render so it gets written to where i placed it
any other way to do this? all i wanted to do is write some custom tags like these
<html>
<form ...>
...
</form>
<mycustomtag value="set" target="something"/>
<mycustomtag value="invoke" target="something_else"/>
<mycustomtag value="invoke" target="another"/>
<mycustomtag value="terminate" target="true"/>
</html>
it has no order or whatsoever, itll depend on the conditions that i made.
if youre wondering why i needed this its because this page is being read by my winforms application which actually handles the interface (its for a kiosk, the ui for keypads and all those are done in windows control which i invoke if i see those tags)
response.write wont do since i cant tell it where to write it, thats why i made that placeholder so i know where i put it, anyone?
heres what i have atm
my tag writer control
at code-behind i generate those tags using a class (function returning a string) and assign it to content
from my page (load)
if its on a master page
