Remarks
The CustomTemplate and CustomAlternateTemplate properties are marked with the [PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty)] attribute. This means that the ITemplate objects that they return are compiled and persist in the TemplateBasedControl object as a nested tag. There are several advantages to using precompiled templates; for example, they can be added to a page in a visual designer such as Microsoft SharePoint Designer or Visual Studio by dragging and dropping them from the designer toolbox. But there are disadvantages also. For more information, see How to: Create a Custom Field Type, Web User Controls and Web Custom Controls, and PersistenceModeAttribute.
