	ClearChildState	Deletes the view-state and control-state information for all the server control's child controls. (Inherited from Control.)
	ClearChildViewState	Deletes the view-state information for all the server control's child controls. (Inherited from Control.)
	CreateChildControls	Called by the ASP.NET page framework to notify server controls that use composition-based implementation to create any child controls they contain in preparation for posting back or rendering. (Inherited from Control.)
	CreateControlCollection	Creates a new ControlCollection object to hold the child controls (both literal and server) of the server control. (Inherited from Control.)
	DataBind()	Binds a data source to the invoked server control and all its child controls. (Inherited from Control.)
	DataBind(Boolean)	Binds a data source to the invoked server control and all its child controls with an option to raise the DataBinding event. (Inherited from Control.)
	DataBindChildren	Binds a data source to the server control's child controls. (Inherited from Control.)
	Dispose	Enables a server control to perform final clean up before it is released from memory. (Inherited from Control.)
	EnsureChildControls	Determines whether the server control contains child controls. If it does not, it creates child controls. (Inherited from Control.)
	EnsureID	Creates an identifier for controls that do not have an identifier assigned. (Inherited from Control.)
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	FindControl(String)	Searches the current naming container for a server control with the specified id parameter. (Inherited from Control.)
	FindControl(String, Int32)	Infrastructure. Searches the current naming container for a server control with the specified id and an integer, specified in the pathOffset parameter, which aids in the search. You should not override this version of the FindControl method. (Inherited from Control.)
