DetailsViewDesigner.UsePreviewControl Property

protected:
 virtual property bool UsePreviewControl { bool get(); };

protected override bool UsePreviewControl { get; }

member this.UsePreviewControl : bool

Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property UsePreviewControl As Boolean

Property Value

Always true.

Remarks

Because the UsePreviewControl property is always true, the designer uses a View control that contains a copy of the associated DetailsView control to generate the design-time markup. The View control does not affect any persistence for the DetailsView. If the UsePreviewControl property has been overridden to return false, the designer will use the associated DetailsView control itself to generate the design-time markup.

Notes to Inheritors

You can override the UsePreviewControl property to return false or to determine its value based on whether the control is marked with a class level SupportsPreviewControlAttribute object. If the UsePreviewControl is not overridden, the DetailsView object ignores the SupportsPreviewControlAttribute.
