Need help with a Templated ASP.NET Control

Guys,

I'm at my wits end here on this templated control.  I cannot get it to
function properly.
Perhaps a look by someone else can tell me where I'm going wrong.

The problem is that when I try to use the <%# Container.xxxx %> syntax for
the template in the asp.net markup, the Container field returns my parent
object and not the template object.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mike

Here's the basics of the control:


    [DefaultProperty("UploadURL")]
    [PersistChildren(true)]
    [ToolboxData("<{0}:ScannerControl runat=server></{0}:ScannerControl>")]
    public class ScannerControl : Control, INamingContainer {

        public ScannerControl(): base() { }

        ...

        private ITemplate _toolbarTemplate;
        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets the template...
        /// </summary>
        [PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty)]
        [TemplateContainer(typeof(ToolbarTemplate))]
        public ITemplate ToolbarTemplate {
            get { return _toolbarTemplate; }
            set { _toolbarTemplate = value; }
        }

        protected override void CreateChildControls() {
            Controls.Clear();
            if (ToolbarTemplate != null) {
                ToolbarTemplate tt = new ToolbarTemplate();
                ToolbarTemplate.InstantiateIn(tt);
                Controls.Add(tt);
            }
        }

 }


    /// <summary>
    ///
    /// </summary>
    public class ToolbarTemplate: Control, INamingContainer {

        public ToolbarTemplate() { }

        public ToolbarTemplate(string javascriptCommand, string tooltip) {
            this.JavascriptCommand = javascriptCommand;
            this.ToolTip = tooltip;
        }

        private string _javascriptCommand;
        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets ...
        /// </summary>
        public string JavascriptCommand {
            get { return _javascriptCommand; }
            set { _javascriptCommand = value; }
        }

        private string _toolTip;
        /// <summary>
        /// Gets or sets ...
        /// </summary>
        public string ToolTip {
            get { return _toolTip; }
            set { _toolTip = value; }
        }


    }
