>>>Hi,

>>>I am designing a web page that is to add an Insurance Policy. The Policy can have three different people associated with it: the Insured, the Owner and the Payor. The details for each of these is exactly the same so I want to create a standard interface for a "Person", then drop it 3 times on my ASP page and set each one to be bound to different data.

>>Very possible and I do it often. What you want to create is a "WebUserControl" and put all the controls you want on there. Call it say "ctrlContact". Then on your ASP.net form you can add this control as many times as you want. You will probably need to add a property or two to that control to allow you to set the binding sources at runtime differently.

My way of doing this would be to expose a method in the control or a constructor that woudl accept an enum value for the type of data it should display. Each control would retrieve it's own data based on the value of the record you are on. I suppose if the control is just showing the data for a person, then you could just instantiate the control passing in the person ID and it would go get that. Each copy of the control would create it's own copy of the business object so the data would be seprated.
