HtmlInputHidden.OnPreRender Method (EventArgs)

 

Raises the Control.PreRender event.

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

protected internal override void OnPreRender(
	EventArgs e
)

Parameters

e
Type: System.EventArgs

An EventArgs that contains event data.

The OnPreRender method is called just prior to rendering the HtmlInputHidden control. The OnPreRender method is used primarily by control developers extending the functionality of the HtmlInputHidden control.

The following code example demonstrates how to override the OnPreRender method so that it applies HTML encoding to the input value in a custom HtmlInputHidden server control.
