XhtmlTextWriter Constructor (TextWriter)

 

Initializes a new instance of the XhtmlTextWriter class that uses the line indentation that is specified in the DefaultTabString field. Use the XhtmlTextWriter constructor if you do not want to change the default line indentation.

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

Public Sub New (
	writer As TextWriter
)

Parameters

writer
Type: System.IO.TextWriter

A TextWriter instance that renders the XHTML content.

The XhtmlTextWriter constructor that takes a TextWriter object as a parameter calls the second constructor, passing two parameter values:

  • The TextWriter instance.

  • The string value that is specified in the DefaultTabString field, which defines the tab spacing that is used by the XHTML text writer.

The following code example demonstrates how to create the two constructors, which is standard for all classes that derive directly or indirectly from the HtmlTextWriter class, for a custom class that is derived from the XhtmlTextWriter class.

' Create a class that inherits from XhtmlTextWriter.
<AspNetHostingPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, _
    Level:=AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)> _
<AspNetHostingPermission(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, _
    Level:=AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)> _
Public Class CustomXhtmlTextWriter
    Inherits XhtmlTextWriter

    ' Create two constructors, following 
    ' the pattern for implementing a
    ' TextWriter constructor.
    Public Sub New(writer As TextWriter)
      MyClass.New(writer, DefaultTabString)
    End Sub 'NewNew


    Public Sub New(writer As TextWriter, tabString As String)
      MyBase.New(writer, tabString)
    End Sub 'New
