TemplateDefinition Class

Provides properties and methods that define a template element in a Web server control at design time.

Namespace:  System.Web.UI.Design
Assembly:  System.Design (in System.Design.dll)

public ref class TemplateDefinition : public DesignerObject

The TemplateDefinition class provides a base template definition class that can be inherited from and extended for a control designer to use in providing support for templated controls in a design host such as Visual Studio 2005. A design host uses the properties and methods of the TemplateDefinition class to facilitate creating and editing a template at design time.

The following code example demonstrates how to derive a custom class from the ControlDesigner class. This control designer supports a control with four possible templates.

To try it, add a reference to the System.Design.dll assembly, compile the code, and then, in a design host such as Visual Studio 2005, look at the page in Design view. Select the control, click the action list to select a template to modify, and then use the drag-and-drop feature to move controls into the template.
