Composite controls are controls that combine multiple controls together to form a new reusable control. For example, a simple composite control could consist of both a Label control and a TextBox control.
You can use UserControls (.ascx) files to create some quick composite controls. You can also create composite controls as custom server controls that you can add to your Visual Studio Toolbox.
