ChildRenderer

Version:

The ChildRenderer control renders all items that are children of the item that you specify in the DataSource property. It is a pure server-side control, and you cannot use data binding or JavaScript.

It renders items as they are, so the items need to have layouts assigned. If you use SPEAK components to render the items, these SPEAK components are rendered just as any other SPEAK components, and they work in the same way.
