Hey

ASP.NET 2.0

I'm about to create a UserControl for my web project, but I'm wondering if I
need to create 2 UserControls instead. Because these UserControls will be
very similar, the only difference between them will be that one of these
UserControls are containing a control (also being a UserControl, lets call
it "A"), which the other UserControl don't contain!

So I thought about creating 2 different UserControls... but I guess this
would be bad, because these 2 UserControls will have the same markup, except
one the UserControls have a control ("A", mention above) which the other
userControl don't have

Or I could instead create only 1 UserControl, have have some logic in it
which hide or show the control ("A"). In this way I could use only
UserControl and use some kind of logic to hide or show this extra control
("A")... I guess this approach is the best, but would like to know your
thought about this too?

Best Regards

I prefer the second approach because it is easy to make changes later at one
place instead of two.

I agree on that but if I hide the control, will the UserControl display
still reserve space for the hided control?

In other words this control I want to hide/show is (400 pixels height and
witdth=100%) placed at the top of the UserControl. If this control is hidden
will the UserControl still reserve space (400 pixels height and witdth=100%)
for the hidden control??....

and in what event should I hide/show the control?

Set the Visible property to False. This wil not generate any markup nor will
it occupy any space on the browser.

Page Load event may be used to show/hide the control.
