LoginStatusDesigner.UsePreviewControl Property

protected:
 virtual property bool UsePreviewControl { bool get(); };

protected override bool UsePreviewControl { get; }

member this.UsePreviewControl : bool

Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property UsePreviewControl As Boolean

Property Value

Always true.

Remarks

Because the UsePreviewControl property is always true, the designer ViewControl property returns a copy of the associated LoginStatus control to generate the design-time markup. The ViewControl property creates the copy by persisting the actual LoginStatus control, then parsing the persisted control string. The copied control does not affect any persistence for the actual LoginStatus.

If the UsePreviewControl property has been overridden to return false, the designer will use the associated LoginStatus itself to generate the design-time markup, and design-time changes to the control will persist to the page markup source.

Notes to Inheritors

You can override the UsePreviewControl property to return false or to determine its value based on whether the control is marked with a class level SupportsPreviewControlAttribute attribute. If the UsePreviewControl is not overridden, the LoginStatus ignores the SupportsPreviewControlAttribute.
