HtmlInputText.OnPreRender Method (EventArgs)

 

Raises the PreRender event.

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

Protected Friend Overrides Sub OnPreRender (
	e As EventArgs
)

Parameters

e
Type: System.EventArgs

An EventArgs that contains the event data.

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

The following code example demonstrates how to override the OnPreRender method so that it sets the MaxLength property to 30 characters in a custom HtmlInputText server control.
