[thelist] (asp.net) Custom Events on user controls?

[Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com)]

Nope.  That's basically the other side of the same coin (public properties, public methods).  Sounds like a winner to me.

I do want to specify which event triggers the postback... I suppose I could check the request.params. A co-worker just suggested putting a method in my control, and calling that method in the Submit_Click event on the containing page. It sounds pretty reasonable to me, but maybe there's a gotcha waiting around that corner...?
