ColumnTemplate Remarks

The ColumnTemplate control is used exclusively in the Columns property of the DataTableNavigator control. The Columns property is a collection of ColumnTemplate controls.

The Name property of each ColumnTemplate control associates it with one of the columns in the DataTableNavigator control's data table. Each ColumnTemplate control contains a ContentTemplate object which contains prompt text and data binding expressions from any data column in the current data row. When the user speaks the name of a data column associated with a ColumnTemplate control, data from the current data row is bound into the ContentTemplate and the resulting text is played as a prompt.

When the Speech Platform plays the prompt, it attempts to use recorded text from a PromptDatabase, and synthesizes the text if recorded text is not found.

Data binding expressions in ContentTemplate objects that are contained in ColumnTemplate controls must be HTML-encoded.
