Public Shared Function ParseControls (designerHost As IDesignerHost, controlText As String) As Control()

Parameters

designerHost: IDesignerHost

An IDesignerHost instance that is the designer host for the page.

controlText: String

A string that represents a collection of markup for controls.

Returns

Control[]

An array of Control elements, parsed from controlText; otherwise, null, if the parser cannot build the controls.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

designerHost is null.

controlText is null or an empty string ("").

Remarks

The ParseControls method accesses the string representing the register directives on the ASP.NET Web page using the services of the designer host. Designer host services are acquired through the ReferenceManager property of the RootDesigner object, or if that is not available, the IWebFormReferenceManager service.

The ParseControls method throws an exception if the parser cannot build the controls from the controlText parameter.
