TableCell.AddAttributesToRender Method

Adds properties specific to the TableCell control to the list of attributes to render.

Namespace:  System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
protected override void AddAttributesToRender(
	HtmlTextWriter writer
)

Parameters

writer
Type: System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter
The output stream that renders HTML content to the client.
Exception Condition
HttpException

A cell listed as an associated header cell was not found.

The AddAttributesToRender method overrides the base class's AddAttributesToRender method and first calls the base method and then adds the TableCell attributes corresponding to the RowSpan property, the ColumnSpan property and the AssociatedHeaderCellID property. If the AssociatedHeaderCellID property refers to a TableHeaderCell that can not be found, an HttpException is thrown.

The AddAttributesToRender method is used primarily by control developers extending the functionality of the TableCell control.

Notes to Inheritors

When overriding the AddAttributesToRender method in a derived class, be sure to call the AddAttributesToRender method of the base class so that the TableCell control attributes are properly rendered.

The following code example demonstrates how to override the AddAttributesToRender method in a custom server control so that a custom title attribute is rendered for each cell.
