ChtmlTextWriter Class
Writes a series of cHTML-specific characters and text to the output stream of an ASP.NET server control. The ChtmlTextWriter class provides formatting capabilities that ASP.NET server controls use when rendering cHTML content to clients.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Compact HTML, or cHTML, is a subset of HTML 2.0, HTML 3.2, and HTML 4.0, and is designed to render on devices with limited memory and CPU power, along with small display screens, limited formatting capabilities, and a limited number of input options (such as a cell phone touch pad). Therefore, cHTML does not support the following:
JPEG images.
Tables.
Image maps.
Multiple character fonts and styles.
Background colors and images.
Frames.
Style sheets.
The ChtmlTextWriter class derives from the Html32TextWriter class and much of its functionality is provided by the Html32TextWriter and the base class for all markup text writers, which is the HtmlTextWriter class.
The following code example demonstrates how to create a class named CustomChtmlTextWriter that is derived from the ChtmlTextWriter class. It creates two constructors and overrides the OnAttributeRender method to prevent the bgcolor style attribute from being written to the output stream of the ChtmlTextWriter object. It also creates a class named ChtmlCustomPageAdapter that defines one method, CreateCustomChtmlTextWriter, which creates and returns an instance of the CustomChtmlTextWriter class. The CustomChtmlTextWriter then renders cHTML content for a page to devices with browsers that use cHTML markup.
