asp.net building controls: I have a couple controls that inherits from webcontrol.

When I drop one of the controls on a new webpage
I get

<link href="mvwres:2-Util.Ctrl.MyEmbeddedFile.css,Util, Version=1.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

in the head.

I am not sure why the other controls the same thing doesn't happen.

What causes the creation of the mvwres?
What would happen if this page used a master page (i.e. no head section)?

thanks,

Hi Chuck,

I have no past experience on this mvwres stuff, I also searched internally
and didn't find much information on this. Would you please tell me how to
reproduce this issue on my side? After I reproduced it, I will consult
within our internal discussion list to see if anyone can explain more about
it. Thanks.

I wish I could reproduce it. Some ctrls I get it some I don't.
There is some discussion on:
www.nikhilk.net/WebResourceAttributeAtDesignTime.aspx

Also it looks like the guys in the Ajax tool kits implements it.

Hi Chuck,

Sorry for delayed reply.

I'm including the reply from ASP.NET team about this mvwres custom protcol
here:

<quote>
ASP.NET doesn't use the custom protocol. Only Visual Studio and other
designer tools use it. There is an interface,
System.Web.UI.IResourceUrlGenerator that is used when a control wants to
create a URL to an embedded WebResource. At runtime the ASP.NET URL
generator creates links in the form
~/Site/WebResource.axd?d=<data>&t=<timestamp>. At design time the tool's
(Visual Studio) URL generator creates links in whatever format it wants. In
the specific case of VS it uses a custom protocol handler called "mvwres"
with a custom URL format to generate those URLs.

Whether at runtime or design time, the URLs are used to locate and load the
specified resource, whether it's a JS files, CSS file, HTML, GIF, etc.
Without the custom mvwres protocol the resources wouldn't be able to load
at design time.

Hope this helps.
