Table.CreateControlCollection Method

Definition

Creates a new ControlCollection object to hold the TableRow controls of the current Table control.

protected:
 override System::Web::UI::ControlCollection ^ CreateControlCollection();
protected override System.Web.UI.ControlCollection CreateControlCollection ();
override this.CreateControlCollection : unit -> System.Web.UI.ControlCollection
Protected Overrides Function CreateControlCollection () As ControlCollection

Returns

A ControlCollection object to contain the TableRow controls of the current Table control.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to override the CreateControlCollection method in a custom server control so that it always returns a new instance of the EmptyControlCollection class for the Table.

Remarks

This method is used primarily by control developers when deriving a custom class from a Table control.

This method overrides the CreateControlCollection implementation for the base Control class. For a Table control, the CreateControlCollection always returns a ControlCollection that can only contain TableRow controls of the current Table control.
