I overrode the render method... I don't want to use a user control because of the flexability of Custom controls.

I created the logic to add the child controls, but when I add the custom control to a webform the controls do not show up. Instead, the text "system.web.ui.HTMLTextWritter" is displayed. Can anyone tell me what is wrong?

Thanks
