I'm having a problem creating a new CompositeControl.
Currently I have a custom control that inherits from TextBox, the control DOES NOT have the Style property defined, but I can set the property in the page Markup and the style will be applied correctly.
I'm trying to create a CompositeControl with the same functionality as the custom control, everything works fine until I try to set the Style property on the control, in compile time this error is thrown: "The 'Style' property cannot be set declaratively", this keeps happening even if I declare the 'Style' property in the code for the CompositeControl (Even if I use the 'new' keyword).
I cannot understand why I get the error in one of the controls and not in the other one.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks

I "solved" it!
I just don't have to define the Style property in the composite control I'm creating, if I let it that way I can add the Style to the control and access it in the code of the control.
e.g.
and in the MyCompositeControl code I can access it like:
And set the style to the control I want it applied to (in this case, the input control).
I still cannot understand why I cannot set the Style property though, but the good thing is that I don't need to.
Thanks for your help
