protected internal override void Render(
    HtmlTextWriter writer
)

override Render : 
        writer:HtmlTextWriter -> unit

Parameters

writer: Type: System.Web.UI..::.HtmlTextWriter

Remarks

The Render method is used primarily by control developers.

The Render method sends the Web control to the specified HtmlTextWriter instance. Override this method to send your custom server control to the client.

The Render method first calls the RenderBeginTag method, then the RenderContents method, and finally the RenderEndTag method to send the control to the client.
