Defines the behavior for populating a templated ASP.NET server control with child controls. The child controls represent the inline templates defined on the page.

Examples
The following code example demonstrates a simple templated server control that uses the ITemplate interface to create a templated property.
using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
namespace TemplateControlSamples {
public class TemplateItem : Control, INamingContainer {
private String _message = null;
public TemplateItem(String message) {
_message = message;
}
public String Message {
get {
return _message;
}
set {
_message = value;
}
}
}
[System.Security.Permissions.PermissionSet(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.Demand, Name="FullTrust")]
[ParseChildren(true)]
public class Template1 : Control, INamingContainer {
private ITemplate _messageTemplate = null;
private String _message = null;
public String Message {
get {
return _message;
}
set {
_message = value;
}
}
[
PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty),
TemplateContainer(typeof(TemplateItem))
]
public ITemplate MessageTemplate {
get {
return _messageTemplate;
}
set {
_messageTemplate = value;
}
}
protected override void CreateChildControls() {
// If a template has been specified, use it to create children.
// Otherwise, create a single LiteralControl with the message value.
if (MessageTemplate != null) {
Controls.Clear();
TemplateItem i = new TemplateItem(this.Message);
MessageTemplate.InstantiateIn(i);
Controls.Add(i);
}
else {
this.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(this.Message));
}
}
}
}

Remarks
This interface is used by custom server controls, but never implemented by them. ASP.NET always implements it.
Methods
InstantiateIn(Control) |
When implemented by a class, defines the Control object that child controls and templates belong to. These child controls are in turn defined within an inline template. |
