TableDesigner.GetDesignTimeHtml Method

Definition

Gets the HTML that is used to represent the control at design time.

public:
 override System::String ^ GetDesignTimeHtml();
public override string GetDesignTimeHtml ();
override this.GetDesignTimeHtml : unit -> string
Public Overrides Function GetDesignTimeHtml () As String

Returns

The HTML used to represent the control at design time.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to override the GetDesignTimeHtml method to display rows and cells for the StyledTable class on the design surface. In the Try block, the code checks whether the table contains any rows or cells, and if it does not, creates a row and performs a loop to create two cells for the row, along with placeholder text to display in each cell at design time. If the table is not empty, but a row is, the code performs the same loop to create and populate the cells. In the Finally block, the code returns the values to their original state.

' Override the GetDesignTimeHtml method to display
' placeholder text at design time for the 
' rows and cells of the StyledTable class.
Public Overrides Function GetDesignTimeHtml() As String
    Dim sTable As StyledTable = CType(Component, StyledTable)
    Dim designTimeHTML As String
    Dim rows As TableRowCollection = sTable.Rows
    Dim cellsWithDummyContents As ArrayList = Nothing
   
    Dim emptyTable As Boolean = rows.Count = 0
    Dim emptyRows As Boolean = False
    Dim counter As Integer = 1
    Dim numcells As Integer = 2
    
    Try     
        ' Create two cells to display
        ' in a row at design time.
        If emptyTable Then
            Dim row As TableRow = New TableRow()
            rows.Add(row)
      
            Dim i As Integer
            For i = 0 To numcells - 1
                Dim c As TableCell = New TableCell()
                c.Text = "Cell #" & counter.ToString()
                counter += 1
                rows(0).Cells.Add(c)

                    counter += 1
                    rows(0).Cells.Add(c)
                Next k
             End If
        End If
   
        If emptyTable = False Then
            ' If the rows and cells were defined by the user, but the
            ' cells remain empty this code defines a string to display 
            ' in them at design time.
            Dim row As TableRow
            For Each row In rows
                Dim c As TableCell
                For Each c In row.Cells
                    If ((c.Text.Length = 0) AndAlso (c.HasControls() = False)) Then
                       If cellsWithDummyContents Is Nothing Then
                           cellsWithDummyContents = New ArrayList()
                       End If
                       cellsWithDummyContents.Add(c)
                       c.Text = "Cell #" & counter.ToString()
                       counter += 1

        End If
        ' Retrieve the design-time HTML for the StyledTable class.
        designTimeHTML = MyBase.GetDesignTimeHtml()

    Finally
        ' If the StyledTable was empty before the dummy text was added,
        ' restore it to that state.
        If emptyTable Then
            rows.Clear()
        Else
            ' Clear the cells that were empty before the dummy text 
            ' was added.
            If Not (cellsWithDummyContents Is Nothing) Then
                Dim c As TableCell
                For Each c In  cellsWithDummyContents
                    c.Text = [String].Empty
                Next c
            End If
            If emptyRows Then
                rows(0).Cells.Clear()
            End If
        End If
   
    End Try
    Return designTimeHTML
End Function

Remarks

The GetDesignTimeHtml method ensures that the table has at least one row and cell and that the cells contain some text for display at design time.
