WebControls

Here's the dealio. I derive a control from System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl.
I simply override it's paint method, no? Then I handle all my graphics within, no?
In java there is the concept of the Canvas which enables you to handle all graphics. Coupled with the event-driven paradigm, it is supremely enabling. I shall find what I'm looking for in dot.net. It might just be as simple as making a server control conform to my specs, except that I have found that substituting a .net panel for a java canvas does not really work. Panels have certain problems. I'll go that route, anyway, extend a WebControl panel then see what happens from then on.
