The RegisterExpandoAttribute method registers a name/value pair as a custom (expando) attribute on the specified Control. The expando attribute is set dynamically from JavaScript to preserve XHTML compatibility for the rendered control's markup. Set the encode parameter to true if you need to escape quotes and backslashes in your expando attribute's value.
If the expando attribute is not found or the control to add the expando attribute to is not found, the client script is still emitted, but it will not affect the control.
The following code example demonstrates how to use the RegisterExpandoAttribute method of the ClientScriptManager class. The client script in the rendered page sets the title attribute of a <span> element.
