TemplateBasedControl.DefaultAlternateTemplateName Property

SharePoint 2010

Windows SharePoint Services 3

Gets the name of the default alternate rendering template.

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

Syntax

Copy

protected virtual string DefaultAlternateTemplateName { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.String
A String object that names a rendering template.

Remarks

Notes to Inheritors

The default implementation always returns null.

In derived classes, the DefaultAlternateTemplateName property contains the value of the ID attribute of a <RenderingTemplate> element in an .aspx file that is located in the following folder:

%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\template\controltemplates

The ID attribute identifies the RenderingTemplate object that can be used as a fallback template if the AlternateTemplateName property is called before it has been set or, if for any reason, the template it names cannot be used.
