Wanted: Server Control Documentation

I've written a lot of custom ASP.NET server controls. But my work has evolved enormously during the last two years. Mainly because server control documentation is very sparse. I usually start doing things the wrong way, then only later learn what the correct way is.

For example: I started out by Response.Writing any custom javascript in the OnRender method. Then later I read that this should rather be done in OnPreRender using Page.RegisterStartupScript.

So little by little my code is improving. However, I've never found a comprehensive MSDN document or website article that explains server control development properly. That leaves me with having to take tidbits from hundreds of websites to put the server control puzzle together.

If anyone can point out a good (comprehensive) server control e-book or articles, I'd be happy to publish the link on a blog post. I'm sure it'll help a lot of developers that make the same mistakes and struggle with the same problems.
