Hi,

A situation has come up where I need to register a control in a text/xml transformation.

Any idea how this can be done?

You can't register server control in text/xml (non-server) transformation.

Use ASPX transformation. It is difficult to give any recommendation while I'm out of context.

Hello,

well, you can write a custom macro method that does whatever you need in the code, so you can return any output your control would return.

Best regards,

Can you tell us what exactly you are trying to accomplish? What kind of control do you want to load in? Using an ascx transformation usually is straight forward, and allows you to register the control using the asp.net control declarations. If you switch to the ascx transformation, all you need to do is to make sure all of your macros from before would be changed to the appropriate ascx code.
