A couple of releated questions...
1) Can a UserControl that implements the ISettingControl be coded inline (that is, not using code behind)?
2) Does a UserControl that implements the ISettingControl have to be compiled into a DLL?
I've been looking at the various examples, such as those used for Google Maps; but I don't grasp the concept of implementing an interface (e.g. ISettingControl).
My goal:I often develop quick "widget" type feature/module controls that will display data selected based on a topic or category id.(For example: I have a Customer Quotes module where I would like to have a custom feature setting that uses a drop down that has topics coming from a database)
Thanks for any help.
This is one approach I've tried. The control does not show up in the settings panel; but I'm not receiving any other error. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Are you sure no error is being logged?
