Server Control Simple Properties and Subproperties 

This section contains two samples. The first demonstrates how to implement simple properties and subproperties in server controls. The terms "simple" and "subproperties" are defined in the sample topic. The second shows how to implement a type converter for a custom type. Type converters perform conversions from a string representation to a given type and vice versa.
