Hi Paul,

I learned something this morning about the new ClientIDMode property I mentioned. It is a new feature in ASP.Net 4. The default for asp.net3.5 was 'inherit' and this was the behavior I was getting where there are things like 'ctl00' appended along with all the containership. Now with dot net 4.0 the default should be 'predictable' where the containership is pretty easy to figure out. This can be set at the page level. Then with 'static' the clientID would be exactly as you typed it in. This may be problematic for situations where there is master pages, and controls involved where there could end up being a name conflict.

Just thought I would mention this for anyone who wasn't aware of the new property.
