.NET Framework Class Library
PageAdapter Class

Adapts a Web page for a specific browser and provides the base class from which all page adapters inherit, directly or indirectly.

Remarks

The PageAdapter class is an abstract class that adapts a Web page for a specific class of browsers, defined by the markup language that the browser uses (for example, HTML or XHTML). Much of the adaptability in rendering behavior can be encapsulated in the specialized text writer classes that derive from the HtmlTextWriter class, so it is not always necessary to provide a page adapter.

Most members of derived page adapters are called from the Page class or from control adapters. First, the Page class or control adapters detect the presence of the derived page adapter, and then call the member, or provide the functionality if the page adapter is not present.

The members of the PageAdapter class provide the following functionality:

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to derive a class named CustomPageAdapter from the PageAdapter class and override the RenderBeginHyperlink method. The RenderBeginHyperlink method adds an attribute named src to a hyperlink, which contains a reference to the current page. All hyperlinks rendered in pages to which CustomPageAdapter is attached will have the src attribute.
