Html32TextWriter Class
Writes a series of HTML 3.2–specific characters and text to the output stream for an ASP.NET server control. The Html32TextWriter class provides formatting capabilities that ASP.NET server controls use when rendering HTML 3.2 content to clients.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

The Html32TextWriter class is an alternative to the HtmlTextWriter class. It converts HTML 4.0 style attributes into the equivalent HTML 3.2 tags and attributes. It standardizes the propagation of attributes, such as colors and fonts, using HTML tables. ASP.NET automatically uses this class for HTML 3.2 and earlier browsers by checking the TagWriter property of the HttpBrowserCapabilities class. Unless you create a custom page or control adapter that targets devices that use HTML 3.2 markup, you do not need to create an instance of the Html32TextWriter class explicitly.

The following code example demonstrates how to use a class, named CustomHtml32TextWriter, that derives from the Html32TextWriter class. CustomHtml32TextWriter creates two constructors that follow the pattern that is established by the HtmlTextWriter class and overrides the RenderBeforeContent, RenderAfterContent, RenderBeforeTag, and RenderAfterTag methods.
' Create a custom HtmlTextWriter class that overrides ' the RenderBeforeContent and RenderAfterContent methods. Imports System Imports System.IO Imports System.Web.UI Namespace Examples.AspNet Public Class CustomHtml32TextWriter Inherits Html32TextWriter ' Create a constructor for the class ' that takes a TextWriter as a parameter.

Public Sub New(ByVal writer As TextWriter, ByVal tabString As String) MyBase.New(writer, tabString) End Sub ' Override the RenderBeforeContent method to render ' styles before rendering the content of a <th> element.
