This seems like it should be easy (and maybe it is) but I can't figure it
out.

I have a custom web control (derived from
System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl)
I'm in Grid Layout mode so at design time the HTML in the .aspx page looks
like this:

<cc2:CAUTreeView id="cautv" style="Z-INDEX: 101; LEFT: 16px; POSITION:
absolute; TOP: 224px" runat="server" Width="50px"></cc2:CAUTreeView>

In my override of Render I want to get the style attribute so I can output
the same positioning information so the control renders in the exact spot
that it was designed in. I can't find any way to get at this at run-time.

Any ideas?

try something like this

if(Style != null)
{
writer.write("<span style\"" + Style + "\">");
writer.write("Your display text");
writer.write("</span>"
}

Doh! I was doing that but in the constructor. The Style wasn't loaded yet!

As soon as I did it in my Render override it worked fine.

Thanks and sorry for the waste of time!

Instead of overriding the Render method, you may want to
override the RenderContents method.
