Literal.AddParsedSubObject(Object) Method

Definition

Notifies the Literal control that an XML or HTML element was parsed and adds that element to the ControlCollection of the control.

protected:
 override void AddParsedSubObject(System::Object ^ obj);
protected override void AddParsedSubObject (object obj);
override this.AddParsedSubObject : obj -> unit
Protected Overrides Sub AddParsedSubObject (obj As Object)

Parameters

obj
Object

An Object that represents the parsed element.

Exceptions

obj is not of type LiteralControl.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to override the AddParsedSubObject method in a custom server control so that it always sets the Text property to the parsed object's Text property, if the parsed object is a Literal, and to an empty string otherwise.
