server control with collection -- asp.net building controls

Hello,

I wrote a simple server control from a sample I found on the web in the
following URL: http://west-wind.com/weblog/posts/200.aspx

The control has the following structure:
<myCtl:main>
<Columns>
<ColumnItem id="a"></ColumnItem>
<ColumnItem id="b"></ColumnItem>
</Columns>
</myCtl:main>

The problem is that in the collection method used here requires that the tag
of the collection control (ColumnItem) will also include the tag prefix of
the main control so that structure must look like this:
<myCtl:main>
<Columns>
<myCtl:ColumnItem id="a"></myCtl:ColumnItem>
<myCtl:ColumnItem id="b"></myCtl:ColumnItem>
</Columns>
</myCtl:main>

Is there any way to bypass this annoying thing?

mr. dropdown,
you don't need the custom namespace notation in the html if you are
using your own controlBuilders(ie, parsing custom html tags). see my
post to your previous message here:

let me know if you're having issues getting things to work.
