Adds the attributes of an ImageButton to the output stream for rendering on the client.

protected:
 override void AddAttributesToRender(System::Web::UI::HtmlTextWriter ^ writer);
protected override void AddAttributesToRender (System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer);
override this.AddAttributesToRender : System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter -> unit
Protected Overrides Sub AddAttributesToRender (writer As HtmlTextWriter)

Parameters

writer
HtmlTextWriter

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to override the AddAttributesToRender method in a custom server control so that the ImageButton text always appears with a thin border.

Note

The following code sample uses the single-file code model and may not work correctly if copied directly into a code-behind file. The first part of this code sample must be copied into an empty text file that has an .aspx extension. The second part must be saved as a code file (either .cs for C# or .vb for Visual Basic). For more information on the Web Forms code model, see ASP.NET Web Forms Page Code Model.
