Examples

This section contains two code examples. The first code example shows how to inherit from the WebControl class to create a custom control named AttribRender that overrides the Render method. The second code example shows how to use the custom control in an ASP.NET Web page.

The following example shows how to create a custom control named AttribRender that overrides the Render method of the WebControl class without calling the Render method of the base class. Instead, AttribRender invokes the Render method.

Visual Basic
' Create a custom WebControl class, named AttribRender, that overrides 
' the Render method to write two introductory strings. Then call the
' AttributeCollection.Render method, which allows the control to write the
' attribute values that are added to it when it is included in a page.
Imports System
Imports System.Web
Imports System.Web.UI
Imports System.Web.UI.WebControls
Imports System.Security.Permissions

' Create the namespace that contains the AttribRender and the
' page that accesses it.
Namespace AC_Render

 ' This is the custom WebControl class.
    <AspNetHostingPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, _
      Level:=AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)> _
    Public Class AttribRender
        Inherits WebControl

        ' This is the overridden WebControl.Render method.
        Protected Overrides Sub Render(ByVal output As HtmlTextWriter)
            output.Write("<h2>An AttributeCollection.Render Method Example</h2>")
            output.Write("The attributes, and their values, added to the ctl1 control are <br><br>")
            ' This is the AttributeCollection.Render method call. When the
            ' page that contains this control is requested, the
            ' attributes that the page adds, and their values,
            ' are rendered to the page.
            Attributes.Render(output)
        End Sub 'Render
    End Class 'AttribRender

End Namespace 'AC_Render
C#
/* Create a custom WebControl class, named AttribRender, that overrides

using System.Web;

// Create the namespace that contains the AttribRender and the

   [AspNetHostingPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, 
      Level=AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]
   public class AttribRender : WebControl
   {
      // This is the overridden WebControl.Render method.
      protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter output)
      {
         output.Write("<h2>An AttributeCollection.Render Method Example</h2>");
         output.Write("The attributes, and their values, added to the ctl1 control are <br><br>");
         // This is the AttributeCollection.Render method call. When the
         // page that contains this control is requested, the
         // attributes that the page adds, and their values,
         // are rendered to the page.
         Attributes.Render(output);
      }
   }
}

The following example shows how to use the AttribRender custom control in a Web page. It assumes that the code file for the custom control is in the App_Code folder for the application.
