Gets the markup that is used to render the associated control at design time.

Namespace:   System.Web.UI.Design.WebControls
Assembly:  System.Design (in System.Design.dll)

public:
virtual String^ GetDesignTimeHtml() override

Return Value

Type: System::String^

A string containing the markup used to render the LoginStatus at design time.

If the LogoutText or LoginText property (depending on whether the user is logged in), is null, an empty string (""), or a single space (" "), the GetDesignTimeHtml method sets the LogoutText or LoginText property, as appropriate, to the ID property, enclosed in brackets ("[ ]"). Then, regardless of the setting of the LoginText or LogoutText, the GetDesignTimeHtml method calls the GetDesignTimeHtml base method to generate the markup for the design-time rendering of the LoginStatus control.

Notes to Inheritors:

If you override the GetDesignTimeHtml method, be sure to call the GetDesignTimeHtml base method because it eventually, through several override levels, calls on the LoginStatus control or a copy of the control to generate the markup.

The following code example shows how to override the GetDesignTimeHtml method in a class that is inherited from the LoginStatusDesigner class to change the appearance of a control that is derived from the LoginStatus class at design time. The example draws a blue, dashed border around the control to make its extent more visible, if the BorderStyle property of the control is the NotSet or None value.
