Calendar.OnPreRender(EventArgs) Method

Definition

Raises the PreRender event.

protected override void OnPreRender (EventArgs e);
protected internal override void OnPreRender (EventArgs e);

Parameters

e
EventArgs

An EventArgs that contains event data.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to override the OnPreRender method so that it always displays a three-point border in a custom Calendar server control.

    </form>

using System.Web;
using System.Security.Permissions;

namespace Samples.AspNet.CS.Controls
{
    [AspNetHostingPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]
    public sealed class CustomCalendarOnPreRender : System.Web.UI.WebControls.Calendar
    {
        protected override void OnPreRender(System.EventArgs e)
        {
            // Run the OnPreRender method on the base class.
            base.OnPreRender(e);

            // Display the Calendar with a 3 point border.
            this.BorderWidth =  System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit.Point(3);
        }
    }
}

Remarks

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Handling and Raising Events.

The OnPreRender method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.

Notes to Inheritors

When overriding OnPreRender(EventArgs) in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnPreRender(EventArgs) method so that registered delegates receive the event.
