title: Syntax for generic (i.e. <T>) web user control
body: <p>Assuming I have made a web control as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class TestControl&lt;T&gt; : WebControl
  {
      ...
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way to place that control on an .aspx page without having to do it via code?  I really want to be able to do something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;controls:TestControl&lt;int&gt; runat="server" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But as far as I can tell there is no way of me passing in the generic parameter.  I've tried searching on the web and found this <a href="http://forums.asp.net/t/1309629.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://forums.asp.net/t/1309629.aspx</a>, which appears to be exactly what I'm after, but no one seems to grasp what the guy wanted, and I can't find anything similar on StackOverflow.</p>
