Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to use the HtmlMeta control to define HTML <meta>

tag to aid user agents reading the date value.

Remarks
The Scheme property allows you to specify a scheme
attribute of the rendered HTML <meta>
element. The scheme
attribute can be used to provide user agents, such as client browsers or search engines, additional context for interpreting the metadata property.
The Scheme property is rendered to the scheme
attribute of the resulting HTML <meta>
element.
