WebControl.AddAttributesToRender Method
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
protected void AddAttributesToRender ( HtmlTextWriter writer )
protected function AddAttributesToRender ( writer : HtmlTextWriter )
Not applicable.
Parameters
- writer
A HtmlTextWriter that represents the output stream to render HTML content on the client.
To render attributes and styles for a Web Server control on the client, you typically call the AddAttribute and System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter.AddStyleAttribute methods to insert each attribute and style individually to the HtmlTextWriter output stream. To simplify the process, this method encapsulates all calls to the System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter.AddAttribute and System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter.AddStyleAttribute methods for every attribute and style associated with the Web server control. All attributes and styles are inserted into the HtmlTextWriter output stream in a single method call. This method is typically overridden by control developers in derived classes to insert the appropriate attributes and styles to the HtmlTextWriter output stream for the class.
Note: |
|---|
| The AddAttributesToRender method cannot be used to insert client script. To use client script, see the ClientScriptManager class. |
The following example demonstrates how to create a class that derives from the WebControl class. The base implementation of the AddAttributesToRender method is overridden to add attributes appropriate to the derived class in the HtmlTextWriter output stream.
namespace ControlTest { using System; using System.Web.UI; using System.Web.UI.WebControls; // Renders the following HTML: // <span onclick="alert('Hello');" style="color:Red;">Custom Contents</span> public class MyWebControl: WebControl { public MyWebControl() : base(HtmlTextWriterTag.Span) { } [System.Security.Permissions.PermissionSet(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.Demand, Name="FullTrust")] protected override void AddAttributesToRender(HtmlTextWriter writer) { writer.AddAttribute(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Onclick, "alert('Hello');"); writer.AddStyleAttribute(HtmlTextWriterStyle.Color, "Red"); base.AddAttributesToRender(writer); } [System.Security.Permissions.PermissionSet(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.Demand, Name="FullTrust")] protected override void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter writer) { writer.Write("Custom Contents"); base.RenderContents(writer); } } }
package ControlTest;
import System.*;
import System.Web.UI.*;
import System.Web.UI.WebControls.*;
// Renders the following HTML:
// <span onclick="alert('Hello');" style="color:Red;">Custom Contents</span>
public class MyWebControl extends WebControl
{
public MyWebControl()
{
super(HtmlTextWriterTag.Span);
} //MyWebControl
protected void AddAttributesToRender(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
writer.AddAttribute(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Onclick, "alert('Hello');");
writer.AddStyleAttribute(HtmlTextWriterStyle.Color, "Red");
super.AddAttributesToRender(writer);
} //AddAttributesToRender
/** @attribute System.Security.Permissions.PermissionSet(System.Security.
Permissions.SecurityAction.Demand, Name = "FullTrust")
*/
protected void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
writer.Write("Custom Contents");
super.RenderContents(writer);
} //RenderContents
} //MyWebControl
