LinkButton.AddParsedSubObject Method (Object)

 

Notifies the control that an element, either XML or HTML, was parsed, and adds the element to the control's ControlCollection object.

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

Protected Overrides Sub AddParsedSubObject (
	obj As Object
)

Parameters

obj
Type: System.Object

An Object that represents the parsed element.

The following code example demonstrates how to override the AddParsedSubObject method in a custom LinkButton server control so that it either sets the text property to the parsed object's text property, if the parsed object is a Literal object, or to an empty string otherwise.
