Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the RegisterStyle method to register a string property that supports inheritance and whose default value is an empty string (""). This incomplete example includes a public property, whose implementation accesses an element of this property by using the default indexer property of the base class.

public class CustomStyle : 
    System.Web.UI.MobileControls.Style
    {
        private string themeNameKey;

        public CustomStyle(string name)
        {
            themeNameKey = 
                RegisterStyle(name, typeof(String), 
                    String.Empty, true).ToString();
        }
        
        public string ThemeName
        {
            get
            {
                return this[themeNameKey].ToString();
            }
            set
            {
                this[themeNameKey] = value;
            }
        }
    }

Public Class CustomStyle
    Inherits System.Web.UI.MobileControls.Style
    Private themeNameKey As String

    Public Sub New(ByVal name As String)
        themeNameKey = _
            RegisterStyle(name, GetType(String), _
                String.Empty, True).ToString()
    End Sub
    
    Public Property ThemeName() As String
        Get
            Return Me(themeNameKey).ToString()
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            Me(themeNameKey) = value
        End Set
    End Property
End Class

Called only from inherited style classes.
