TemplateBasedControl.CustomAlternateTemplate Property

SharePoint 2010

Windows SharePoint Services 3

Gets or sets a custom alternate template.

Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls
Assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)
Available in Sandboxed Solutions: No

Syntax

Copy

[TemplateContainerAttribute(typeof(TemplateContainer))]
[PersistenceModeAttribute(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty)]
public ITemplate CustomAlternateTemplate { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: System.Web.UI.ITemplate
A ITemplate object that renders the control.

Remarks

The CustomTemplate and CustomAlternateTemplate properties are marked with the [PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty)] attribute. This means that the ITemplate objects that they return are compiled and persist in the TemplateBasedControl object as a nested tag. There are several advantages to using precompiled templates; for example, they can be added to a page in a visual designer such as Microsoft SharePoint Designer or Visual Studio by dragging and dropping them from the designer toolbox. But there are disadvantages also. For more information, see How to: Create a Custom Field Type, Web User Controls and Web Custom Controls, and PersistenceModeAttribute.
