Hi,
I have created a web custom control. I want to be able to select one
of the other controls on my form as one the properties of my custom
control. Similar to validation control's ControlToValidate property.
How can I do this? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,

you need to attach a custom typeconverter to the property. Typeconverter is
capable to provide the list of controls on the Page. Here is an example:
