how can I prevent my custom element from getting its own div?

Question

I have created a custom C# object that inherits ScriptControl and INamingContainer . All it has are some spans inside. When I place it on my page, it gets its own div, which I don't want. Is there a property or something I can set to force it to be created as a span instead?

Answer 1

You could override protected TagKey property of your control; it gets the HtmlTextWriterTag value that corresponds to this Web server control:

protected override HtmlTextWriterTag TagKey
{
    get { return HtmlTextWriterTag.Span; }
}

Answer 2

try this

 protected override HtmlTextWriterTag TagKey
 {
     get 
     {
          // return elmement that you would like  HtmlTextWriterTag.Span for instance.
     }
 }
