Provides a simple rectangular placeholder representation that displays the type and ID of the control, and also additional specified instructions or information.
Protected Function CreatePlaceHolderDesignTimeHtml ( _ instruction As String _ ) As String
Dim instruction As String Dim returnValue As String returnValue = Me.CreatePlaceHolderDesignTimeHtml(instruction)
protected string CreatePlaceHolderDesignTimeHtml( string instruction )
protected: String^ CreatePlaceHolderDesignTimeHtml( String^ instruction )
protected function CreatePlaceHolderDesignTimeHtml( instruction : String ) : String
The following code example demonstrates how to override the GetDesignTimeHtml method in a templated control designer. A string is then passed as the instruction parameter in a call to the CreatePlaceHolderDesignTimeHtml method, which provides the design-time HTML markup.
This code example is part of a larger example provided for the TemplateGroups property.
' Add instructions to the placeholder view of the control Public Overloads Overrides Function GetDesignTimeHtml() As String Return CreatePlaceHolderDesignTimeHtml("Click here and use " & _ "the task menu to edit the templates.") End Function
// Add instructions to the placeholder view of the control public override string GetDesignTimeHtml() { return CreatePlaceHolderDesignTimeHtml("Click here and use " + "the task menu to edit the templates."); }
