Examples

The following code example shows how to override the GetErrorDesignTimeHtml method in a class that is inherited from the MenuDesigner class. The overridden method changes the appearance of a control that is derived from the Menu class at design time. The example generates the markup for a placeholder that includes the error message, which is rendered in red, bold text.

// Generate the design-time markup for the control when an error occurs.
protected override string GetErrorDesignTimeHtml(Exception ex) 
{
    // Write the error message text in red, bold.
    string errorRendering =
        "<span style=\"font-weight:bold; color:Red; \">" +
        ex.Message + "</span>";

    return CreatePlaceHolderDesignTimeHtml(errorRendering);
} // GetErrorDesignTimeHtml
' Generate the design-time markup for the control when an error occurs.
Protected Overrides Function GetErrorDesignTimeHtml( _
    ByVal ex As Exception) As String

    ' Write the error message text in red, bold.
    Dim errorRendering As String = _
        "<span style=""font-weight:bold; color:Red; "">" & _
        ex.Message & "</span>"

    Return CreatePlaceHolderDesignTimeHtml(errorRendering)

End Function ' GetErrorDesignTimeHtml

Remarks

The GetErrorDesignTimeHtml method generates markup that renders the error design-time Menu control as a placeholder that contains the type name, the control name, and messages describing the error.
