StateManagedCollection.SetDirtyObject(Object) Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Web.UI

Assembly:

System.Web.dll

When overridden in a derived class, instructs an object contained by the collection to record its entire state to view state, rather than recording only change information.

protected:
 abstract void SetDirtyObject(System::Object ^ o);

protected abstract void SetDirtyObject (object o);

abstract member SetDirtyObject : obj -> unit

Protected MustOverride Sub SetDirtyObject (o As Object)

Parameters

o

Object

The IStateManager that should serialize itself completely.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how a strongly typed StateManagedCollection class implements the abstract SetDirtyObject method. The CycleCollection uses a StateBag object to store its view-state information, and simply delegates the call to the SetDirty method of the StateBag object. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the StateManagedCollection class.

    }

Remarks

The SetDirtyObject method is called internally by the IStateManager.SaveViewState, IList.Add, and IList.Insert methods.
