@ Implements

Indicates that the current page or user control implements the specified .NET Framework interface.

<%@ Implements interface="ValidInterfaceName" %>

Attributes

• interface
  The interface to be implemented on the page or user control.

Remarks

When you implement an interface in a Web Forms page, you can declare its events, methods, and properties between opening and closing tags of a <script> element in a code declaration block. You cannot use this directive to implement an interface in a code-behind file.

Example

The following example demonstrates a user control that includes an @ Implements directive to access the properties and methods of the IPostBackEventHandler interface. To use this sample, include it in a .ascx file, then declare the user control in a Web Forms page (an .aspx file). For more information on how to include a user control in a Web Forms page, see the following topics: @ Register, Custom Server Control Syntax, and Including a User Control in a Web Forms Page.

<%@ Implements Interface="System.Web.UI.IPostBackEventHandler" %>
<script language="C#" runat="server">

    //Defines the Text property and the Click event.
    public String Text;
    public event EventHandler Click;

    //Evaluates data-binding expressions when the page is loaded.
    void Page_Load (Object sender, EventArgs e) {
        this.DataBind();
    }
    //Implementation of the event.
    public virtual void RaisePostBackEvent(string eventArgument) {
        OnClick(new EventArgs());
    }

        protected virtual void OnClick(EventArgs e) {
        if (Click!= null) {
            Click(this,e);
        }
    }
</script>

<a href=<%# String.Format("javascript:{0}", Page.GetPostBackEventReference(this)) %>>
    <asp:Label id=l1 Text='<%# Text%>' runat="server"/>
</a>
[Visual Basic]
<%@ Implements Interface="System.Web.UI.IPostBackEventHandler" %>
<script language="VB" runat="server">

    'Defines the Text property and the Click event.
    Public Property Text As String
    Public Event Click As EventHandler

    'Evaluates data-binding expressions when the page is loaded.
    Sub Page_Load (Sender As Object, e As EventArgs) {
        Me.DataBind()
    End Sub

    'Implementation of the event.
    Public Sub RaisePostBackEvent(eventArgument As String) _
        Implements IPostBackEventHandler.RaisePostBackEvent
            OnClick(New EventArgs())
        End Sub

    Protected Overridable Sub OnClick(e As EventArgs) {
        RaiseEvent Click(Me, e)
    End Sub
</script>

<a href=<%# String.Format("javascript:{0}", Page.GetPostBackEventReference(Me)) %>>
    <asp:Label id=l1 Text='<%# Text%>' runat="server"/>
