WmlMobileTextWriter.MapClientIDToShortName Method (String, Boolean)

 

Maps the client ID of a control to a short name to be used in rendering on the form. This API is obsolete. For information about how to develop ASP.NET mobile applications, see the www.asp.net/mobile Web site.

Namespace:   System.Web.UI.MobileControls.Adapters
Assembly:  System.Web.Mobile (in System.Web.Mobile.dll)

protected internal string MapClientIDToShortName(
	string clientID,
	bool generateRandomID
)

Parameters

clientID
Type: System.String

The client ID of a control to map.

generateRandomID
Type: System.Boolean

Determines whether the client ID is encrypted.

Return Value

Type: System.String

A string representation of the client identifier of the control.

If the client identifier of a control is longer than 16 characters, ASP.NET substitutes a uniquely mapped short name.

All references to the client identifier on the page are mapped, resulting in the same postback regardless of mapping. MapClientIDToShortName can also scramble client IDs that must be encrypted for security reasons.
