MenuDesigner.GetDesignTimeHtml Method ()

Note: This method is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.

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
public String GetDesignTimeHtml ()
public override function GetDesignTimeHtml () : String

Return Value

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

The GetDesignTimeHtml method calls the DataBind method to bind the design-time data source to the associated Menu control, and then the GetDesignTimeHtml calls the GetDesignModeState method to cause the Menu control to generate its static-view and dynamic-view markup. The GetDesignTimeHtml returns the markup for the current view. If the current view is not defined, the GetDesignTimeHtml calls the GetDesignTimeHtml base method.

The following code example shows how to override the GetDesignTimeHtml method in a class that is inherited from the MenuDesigner class. The overridden method changes the appearance of a control that is derived from the Menu control at design time. The example draws an orange, dotted border around the control to make its extent more visible, if the BorderStyle property of the control is the NotSet or None value.
