Hi,

I have a custom control which has an ITemplate Property to allow the html of the control to be edited by the Umbraco Users rather than hard coded into the control. It works perfectly in a normal .Net aspx page, but when I try and add it into Umbraco as a Macro I am running into problems.

If I try to lay it out the same as in .Net:

<umbraco:Macro Alias="MyControl" runat="server">
     <Layout>
         <h1>Testing</h1>
     </Layout>
</umbraco:Macro>

I get a Parser Error: "Type 'umbraco.presentation.templateControls.Macro' does not have a public property named 'Layout'."

If I try and put the property inline (which isn't what I want it to do, but is what Umbraco tried to do by default):

<umbraco:Macro Alias="MyControl" runat="server" 
               Layout="&amp;lt;h1&amp;gt;Testing&amp;lt;/h1&amp;gt;">
</umbraco:Macro>

I get the error "Invalid cast from 'System.String' to 'System.Web.UI.ITemplate'", as the property is being interpreted as Text by the Macro.

Is it possible to use Templated Controls inside Umbraco?

I am using Umbraco version v 4.0.2.1 and the Custom Control is in .Net 3.5.

Many thanks,

Iain
