You can use this attribute to mark the class declaration for any custom controls that you create. If you specify True for the ChildrenAsProperties property, the ASP.NET parser will treat any sub-elements inside your control tag as object properties. If you do not use this attribute or you specify False, ASP.NET will assume that nested elements should be added as child controls. In this case, you can still set object properties by using the "object walker" syntax, where properties are split by using a dash (as in <MyControls MyObject-MyProperty="Value" />).
