HtmlTextWriter::GetAttributeKey Method (String^)

 

Obtains the corresponding HtmlTextWriterAttribute enumeration value for the specified attribute.

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

protected:
HtmlTextWriterAttribute GetAttributeKey(
	String^ attrName
)

Parameters

attrName
Type: System::String^

A string that contains the attribute for which to obtain the HtmlTextWriterAttribute.

Return Value

Type: System.Web.UI::HtmlTextWriterAttribute

The HtmlTextWriterAttribute enumeration value for the specified attribute; otherwise, an invalid HtmlTextWriterAttribute value if the attribute is not a member of the enumeration.

If attrName is null or an empty string (""), or cannot be found in the table of attribute names, the value -1, typed to an HtmlTextWriterAttribute object, is returned.

The following code example demonstrates how to use a class, derived from the HtmlTextWriter class, that overrides the RenderBeginTag method. The override checks whether tagKey is equal to the Font field, which indicates that a <font> markup element will be rendered. If so, the override calls the IsAttributeDefined method to find out whether the <font> element contains a Size attribute. If the IsAttributeDefined returns false, the AddAttribute method calls the GetAttributeKey method, which defines the Size and sets its value to 30pt.

// If the tagKey parameter is set to a <font> element
// but a size attribute is not defined on the element,
// the AddStyleAttribute method adds a size attribute
// and sets it to 30 point.
if ( tagKey == HtmlTextWriterTag::Font )
{
   if (  !IsAttributeDefined( HtmlTextWriterAttribute::Size ) )
   {
      AddAttribute( GetAttributeKey( "size" ), "30pt" );
   }
}
