public override Type GetChildControlType(string tagName, IDictionary attribs)
{
    // Distinguish between two possible types of child controls.
    if (tagName.ToLower().EndsWith("myoption1"))
    {
        return typeof(MyOption1);
    }
    else if (tagName.ToLower().EndsWith("myoption2"))
    {
        return typeof(MyOption2);
    }
    return null;
