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 the code sample must be copied into an empty text file that has an .aspx extension. The second part must be in a .cs file (for C#) or a .vb file (for Visual Basic). For more information on the Web Forms code model, see ASP.NET Web Forms Page Code Model.

Remarks

The TagKey property is used primarily by control developers when deriving a custom class from the ImageButton control.

Use the TagKey property to determine the HtmlTextWriterTag value associated with an ImageButton control. This property overrides the base implementation to always return HtmlTextWriterTag.Input.
