Building ASP.NET Web Server Controls using XML and XSLT

In most cases, server controls are very useful in ASP.NET web applications since they have some valuable events (click event, data binding event, data bound event, etc) and other advanced functionality like state management, input validation, etc. In general, XSLT produces plain XML or HTML without any hassle, but if we want to create our ASP.NET server controls by using XML and XSLT then we should follow some procedures which the author has outlined in this article. After providing a brief introduction, he examines the steps involved such as preparing XML document, preparing XSLT document to transform XML data, defining server and validation controls according to XML document, parsing controls, and defining event handlers with the help of relevant code samples along with detailed analysis.
