protected:
 override void Render(System::Web::UI::HtmlTextWriter ^ writer);
protected public:
 override void Render(System::Web::UI::HtmlTextWriter ^ writer);
protected override void Render (System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer);
protected internal override void Render (System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer);
override this.Render : System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter -> unit
Protected Overrides Sub Render (writer As HtmlTextWriter)
Protected Friend Overrides Sub Render (writer As HtmlTextWriter)

Parameters

writer
HtmlTextWriter

The output stream that renders HTML content to the client.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to override the Render method in a custom server control so that the ValidationSummary control is surrounded by a Small tag.

Important

This example has a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview.
