Override Css Class

Hello,

I have two custom controls Parent and Child, both inherit from
Composite Control. Child controls are added to parent.

Parent has a property named ChildControlCssClass.

I want ChildControlCssClass to be applied to all Child controls added
to Parent.

However, if I define the CssClass of a Child control then this would
be the one applied and not the ChildControlCssClass defined in its
parent.

What is the right way to do this?

Thanks,

Miguel

Click to expand...
A way would be to override the .Add method of ControlCollection.
But i would prefer to iterate in a time where all child controls added,
througt this collection, try cast to the base class (WebControl) and
set the property manually.

This is in my case, the better way.
