Yes that's right, I want to conditionally display links on the Site Settings page. I've used the code in your article to conditionally add an item to the Site Actions menu and wanted to do the same thing on the Site Settings page. The problem is that the control class inheriting a Hyperlink control is not hit at all. Thanks for your quick response.

If so, you don't really need a wrapper. I'd rather implement the logic in the ControlAssembly. Wrapper controls, at least the way I see it, are meant to be used on pages (either application pages or Page Layouts). In your case, you're adding a link using the SharePoint framework. Try to implement the logic without a wrapper control instead. If I understand you correctly: you want to conditionally display links on the Site Settings page, right?

I've tried to add a link using CustomAction in a feature and pointed out assembly through the ControlAssembly attribute. The control class that is used in the ControlAssembly inherits a Hyperlink control. The problem is that the control class is never called.

As for your question: I haven't tried to use a wrapper in the SPD. It might fail working because it needs some Context specific information. Determining whether the wrapper is in edit mode in SPD or on a page, should solve the problem theoretically. Hello Martin,

Thank you for your comment. As for your question: I haven't tried to use a wrapper in the SPD. It might fail working because it needs some Context specific information. Determining whether the wrapper is in edit mode in SPD or on a page, should solve the problem theoretically.

However, have you tried this wrapping a WebPartZone in MOSS? I have tried numerous ways and while it renders FINE in the browser, it does not render in SharePoint Designer - - which make PageLayout development and editing pages in SPD impossible. Have you tried? <WebPartPages:WebPartZone runat="server" Title="" ID="RightColumn" Orientation="Vertical"> This fails to render in SharePoint designer every time. Does this work for you? Any ideas or work arounds? thanks Waldek:

Have you tried?

<WebPartPages:WebPartZone runat="server" Title="" ID="RightColumn" Orientation="Vertical">

This fails to render in SharePoint designer every time.

Does this work for you? Any ideas or work arounds? thanks
