The HtmlTextWriter class implementation of the OnTagRender method always returns true. The OnTagRender overrides can determine whether an element will be rendered to the page.
Notes to Inheritors: If you inherit from the HtmlTextWriter class, you can override the OnTagRender method to return false to prevent a markup element from being rendered at all or for a particular markup language. For example, if you do not want the object that is derived from HtmlTextWriter to render the <font> element, you can override the OnTagRender method to return false when a page is requested that contains a <font> element.
The following code example shows how to override the OnTagRender method. If a Font element is being rendered, the OnTagRender override uses the IsAttributeDefined method to determine whether a Size attribute is being rendered. If not, it uses the AddAttribute method to create a Size attribute and set its value to 20pt.
' If a <font> element is to be rendered, check whether it contains
' a size attribute. If it does not, add one and set its value to
' 20 points, then return true.
Protected Overrides Function OnTagRender( _
name As String, _
key As HtmlTextWriterTag) _
As Boolean
If (key = HtmlTextWriterTag.Font) Then
If Not (IsAttributeDefined(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Size)) Then
AddAttribute(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Size, "20pt")
Return True
End If
End If
' If the element is not a <font> element, use
' the base functionality of the OnTagRenderMethod.
Return MyBase.OnTagRender(name, key)
End Function
// If a <font> element is to be rendered, check whether it contains
// a size attribute. If it does not, add one and set its value to
// 20 points, then return true.
protected override bool OnTagRender(string name, HtmlTextWriterTag key)
{
if (key == HtmlTextWriterTag.Font)
{
if (!(IsAttributeDefined(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Size)))
{
AddAttribute(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Size, "20pt");
return true;
}
}
// If the element is not a <font> element, use
// the base functionality of the OnTagRenderMethod.
return base.OnTagRender(name, key);
